The only wooden chair in the WORLD with this DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION (according to thorough research) -signed and dated,with the title(engraved) on the base (bottom) of chair by Dirk Marwig. *Since 2009 this chair has inspired many “Furniture Designers” to make imitations and/or to steal the concept. And why don’t these people don’t give me credit? Because that’s how the world works!
*I made this in 4 days! (photo taken in my living room in Madrid, Spain) -As you can see I had no furniture. This “sofa” consists of 4 interconnecting parts that can easily be taken apart-no screws… Later I put a blue, cotton covered Futon on top.
This time “Sofa 1” is shown with futon in my living room in the house on calle Antonio Diaz Cañabate 8, Madrid, Spain.
I still can’t believe that I made this sofa alone in my relatively small studio. It consists of 5 separate structural pieces which can easily be assembled and 17 custom fitted cushions( all with zippers so that they can be machine washed).
( L.:300cm,H.:76cm,D.:108cm, fir + plywood with high gloss enamel and 17 fitted cushions)
