Time and Capsule : frames and stools by John Armleder, produced and released by WE DO NOT WORK ALONE.

Glitters, familiar elements of the Swiss artist’s paintings, are smoothly layered by a motorbikes and car decoration painter to cover the minimal shape of the stools.
John Armleder’s Capsule are conceived using Max Bill’s Ulm Stools. Designed in 1954 for Ulm School of design’s classrooms, they are produced nowadays by the Swiss maker WB Form and bear Max Bill’s signature. This functionalist design icon is covered by the same sparkling surface than the frames.

Time and Capsule’s minimalist shapes are asserted and yet neutralized by the layer of glitter. They become fractales surfaces constituted by an incalculable number of minuscule elements arranged by chance. They might also joyfully embrace the possibility of cheap failures.

Time and Capsule are two complementary editions. Associated to one another they function as a Furniture Sculpture, the celebrated body of work initiated by Armleder in 1979 that combines paintings and furniture.

The Capsule stools are available in six glittering colors (dark blue, light blue, yellow, purple, light green et dark green). Each color is produced in 6 copies numbered and signed.

The Capsule stools are made to order. 
Orders can be expected to be shipped 4 to 6 weeks after purchase.
