2-D Thonet II

Creator: John Cederquist
Offered by: Moderne Gallery

Description
"The whole thing started with copying; and the first pieces, really, this whole 2D-3D thing was really interesting, and I didn’t want to design, so I was copying because I had no original source or original ideas related to it. I was just fascinated with being able to make these things look like they were two-dimensional. And people were amazed that you could take a picture of it, or you’d stand there and look at it. And as you walked around, the thing just started to warp and go crazy. I had people telling me they got sick walking around them and looking at them. So that’s what these were all about. These came out of Thonet’s catalog.". Baltic birch plywood, maple, embuia inlay, aniline dyes..
