Bronze Footstool
Collection Narrative:
Completedworks furniture explores the deception of materials, with hard bronze and clay forms imitating the visual properties of other, more supple, materials such as knotted fabric, foam, or even elaborately layered cakes—at once celebratory and transient. The works become a frozen gesture, a capturing of movement, playing with the viewer’s visual expectations.
“Traditional designs are often associated with certain rules, expectations of permanence and solidity, whereas our pieces have this visual element of being in transition which I really enjoy. I also love the idea that a piece is beautiful but has a slight strangeness to it – that it invites you to take a second look to try to fully understand what’s going on.
We tend to find that the approach and the ethos are always the same — whatever it is that we are designing. We take a thematic approach and explore the story of the design as much as the design itself. “

This piece has been designed with longevity in mind, but as with all sculptural furniture, it requires considered care to maintain its integrity over time.
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals, which may alter its appearance.
Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry the surface.
