More information

This 'Object Énigme – un hommage à Jacques Derrida', is the architect Johan Linton's tribute to the well known philosofer Derrida, the father of the deconstructivist theory. Several architects were inspired by the deconstructivist theories during the 1980-90s. For example Frank O Gehry, Zaha Hadid & Rem Koolhaas, among others, are some of the architects using these thoeries.
An important exhibition on this theme was executed in 1988 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York– ”Deconstructivist Architecture”.
This chair is based on Linton's ideas of Derrida's theories. These chairs are executed in an edition of 7 and are all unique and inspired by Derrida's aphorisms.
