An “Ethno Eames” chair, designed by Paolo Giordano,
Italy, 2009/11, cast aluminium, the surface decorated with Indian Paisley motifs, height 68 cm, width 56 cm, depth 61 cm. (DRAX)
From the limited edition of 20 + 1 AP. Part of Paolo Giordano’s “Playing with Tradition” project. This specimen was exhibited in: Playing with Tradition, Dublin Castle, 2015.
“The application of ethnic Indian decoration to modern design icons is at first sight provocative. It is the layering of ornamentation on pieces that originated precisely in the refusal of decoration; the union of thought and ideas that were historical opposites. I believe, however, that these objects acquire a new identity as distinctive yet indefinable hybrids, somehow so coherent they make us forget the reasons of the separate initial gestures. An example of how visual language leads its own spirited life.” (Paolo Giordano)
