[Onestar Press] de Ganay, Sebastien. (b. 1962) & Baldessari, John. (1931–2020). PLEASE Chair, 2016.
American conceptual artist John Baldessari says: PLEASE... sit on this chair! Commissioned by Onestar press and designed by Sébastien de Ganay, the intent of the project was to produce a lounge chair that could be produced and assembled anywhere. The production consists of cutting four pieces out of simple plywood on a local CNC machine - in order to make its carbon trace as low as possible - able to be assembled in a matter of minutes with no screws or glue. The "4 Piece Chair" was born in 2015 with a number of artist collaborations with Onestar Press including Lawrence Weiner (2015), Rirkrit Tiravani (2016), and John Baldessari, who made the customizations to this particular model in 2016.
"PLEASE" Chair, 2016. Stained birch and UV digital printing with felt seat pad. Numbered 21 in an edition of 100. Published by Onestar Press, Paris. 29-7/8 x 17-7/8 x 24 inches (75.9 x 45.4 x 61 cm). Fine.
