Electric Chairs by Robert Wilson for Kartell (at Teatro alla Scala, Milan)
Electric chairs Need I say more? Apparently, yes, as its not what you probably think it is! Here, were talking about one good-looking showcase by Kartell 7 Electric Chairs As You Like It at Teatro alla Scala in Milan:
The collection is a collaborative effort between Kartell and Robert Wilson, American director and stage designer, in celebration of Wilsons 70th birthday. The seven chair-sculptures are made of transparent polycarbonate with white colored neon lights inserted inside.
Why 7 and why its the way we like it, you ask? Lets hear it from the designer, Mr. Wilson himself:
“From the number seven. Seven days of the week. I am 70 years old, seven decades, seven deadly sins and there are many more references in philosophy, mathematics. Shakespeare’s play ‘As you like it’ contains the seven ages of man, there are seven dwarfs in Snow white and there is the soft drink 7UP. Seven has always been a number that interested me.”
The collection was on display at the Arturo Toscanini box foyer at the Teatro alla Scala di Milano in Milan, Italy, September 19-30.
