Mendini Proust

Synopsis

How and why did I make the Proust armchair? From the mid-1970s, I started thinking about a “Proust fabric”, a fabric arising from the literary inspirations of the great novelist and the paintings of Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. In 1978, I created the first Proust armchair, an object “that is not craft, not design, not painting, not sculpture, but together is the negation of all those things”.
Alessandro Mendini died in 2019
