The world needs something that points surprisingly to the circumstances – without wanting to indoctrinate. Something like the artworks of Reiner Xaver Sedelmeier. “When sitting, the ‘Peace Chair’ provides support and posture,” says Reiner X. Sedelmeier, whose steel and wood armchairs designed for Vienna Art Week in 2018 are upholstered in Raf Simons’ Kvadrat fabrics. Estimated at: 12,000 to 18,000 euros.
