Designed by Atelier Van LieshoutRead Bio
Joep van Lieshout conceived the Liberty Lounger as part of his Prototypes project, a series of chairs that explored the relationship between creators and their materials and the value of raw, hand production. These ideas are reflected in Liberty's clean-lined, angular silhouette crafted from solid American walnut. An elongated armrest along the right side of the chair doubles a side table. Liberty also includes a soft sheepskin which can be used as a seat cushion. As much a sculptural object as a functional furniture piece, Liberty will make a bold statement in a modern interior.
Specification Sheet / Technical Files
Atelier Van Lieshout is the studio founded by sculptor, painter and visionary Joep van Lieshout. After graduating at the Rotterdam Art Academy Van Lieshout quickly rose to fame with projects that travelled between the world of easy-clean design and the non-functional area of art: sculpture and installations, buildings and furniture, utopias and dystopias.
In 1995 van Lieshout founded his studio, Atelier Van Lieshout; ever since he has been working under the name of the studio to undermine the myth of the artistic genius. Over the past two decades, Atelier Van Lieshout has produced a veritable cornucopia of works which straddle art, design and architecture: sculpture and installations, buildings and furniture, utopias and dystopias. What these works have in common are a number of recurring themes, motives and obsessions: systems, power, autarky, life, sex, death. The human individual in the face of a greater whole.
With this body of work, comprising both autonomous and commissioned artworks, he has gained a strong international reputation. The Atelier has exhibited at museums and galleries worldwide, with shows at MoMA, New York, the Hayward Gallery, London, and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Additionally, the Atelier has worked on numerous commissions for both public and private clients.
