Part of Daniel Arsham’s “Objects for Living I” series, Shanghai Chair was debuted at Arsham’s solo immersive installation at Friedman Benda’s Design Miami/ 2019 booth. The work is a continuation and further exploration of Arsham’s iconic and immediately recognizable practice of creating fossilized “future” relics that distort the viewer’s perception of space and time. It represents a significant departure for Arsham and signify the development of new vocabularies of form as he investigates, challenges and recreates classical archetypes in design.
