essence of this piece of furniture, using no words.
Gerrit Rietveld's Red and Blue Chair
(concept only) Suspend an over sized replica of the
chair from the ceiling, made of colored glass. Install
high-powered red, blue and yellow lasers at all
endpoints of the chair, extending the horizontal and
vertical planes throughout the halls of the airport.
By using lasers to extend the angular planes of the
original chair, the observer is made aware of
overlapping planes in space. The planar limits of the
physical chair itself are only determined by where the
materials are eventually cut. The essence of this chair
resides not only in the physical realm, but also with the
idea that these overlapping planes continue on in
space, indefinitely.
