Fake seat by uto balmoral

Fake, before being a stool, is the synthesis of the designer/artist’s thought which, in balance between the rules of mass production and the aspiration to the unique product, expresses the values of the sculpture within the realm of pro- duct design. With disarming sincerity, Fake’s epigraphic lettering declares its own fakeness as an art and functional piece, which makes it authentically unique, in contradiction with itself. Uto Balmoral, with innate irony and desire to surprise, walks backwards the path to the re- ady-made: he takes from the art world to con- sacreate his products into the design context, where function assumes at times a purely acci- dental  avour.Edit By Anna Cassani
