The ‘kappa’ design line is inspired by the plaster, geometric sculptures of Georges Vantongerloo. By stacking shapes – blocks, plates, slats – and then reducing them to basic shapes, ‘kappa’ was created. This resulted in the ‘Throne’ models, which will be shown in more detail.
The ‘Throne’models are a witticism on how people place themselves on a platform, want to see themselves immortalized in a statue or take a seat on a ’throne’.
