A STOOL FOR WORK ON PAPER

Margarita Paulos’ chromatic work on the Oddvar stool by IKEA sets out, among other intentions, to bring interest up to date on the suggestions by Gerrit Rietveld regarding what is known as a good design. Paulos has transferred the colours of the Red Blue Chair, to this stool, the chair being the most well known work by the Dutch architect, the result being a polyvalent work with patently leisure-orientated suggestions. It is also an invitation to become more acquainted with and to reflect on Rietveld’s production between 1930 and 1940. Paulos’ work is called Oddvar Red&Blue, taking on the Dutch artist’s innovative criteria that led to a wide range of furniture, some of which are in recycled wood to be assembled by the consumer.
