With his Ultimate Art Furniture, Constantin Boym uses the painted canvas as a ‘new material’ with which to construct furniture. In response (or as retaliation?) to the Art World’s appropriation of Design, wherein a wooden chair, for example, is placed on a pedestal and subsequently experienced as abstract sculpture, Boym reverses the process: Art is torn from the wall, ripped from its frame, and wrought – albeit most respectfully and sensitively – into what we now experience as a chair or a table.
