A contemporary comment on ‘The Night Watch’ of Rembrandt:

1. ‘The Gate of Europe’
Below the development of four phases. The gate of Amsterdam stands for the gateway of Europe. A tribute to Angela Merkel as a strong leader that directs and moves in a humanitarian social intercourse.

It is my intention in this series that, slowly (chair by chair) the object changes from chair into …something else. It’s called Bus because its ment to travel and provide many people.

This is the first chair i ever made. It became a ode to Rietveld. The model was inspired on the Steltman chair witch clear changes in size, proportion and material. The arm is different and this model is made up, each time, by three wooden laths in stead of one. The combination with this style and color became a new and a playful tribute to the Stijl and Mondriaan in detail.
