THE WASHED UP HERMAN MILLER CHAIR

Found Herman Miller shell chair legs, sycamore
L 18” - W 18” - H 48” 

The Washed Up Herman Miller Chair was made using sycamore from the property of the Deepree Home-- designed by Charles and Ray Eames-- for the first CEO of Herman Miller, along with a modified Herman Miller Shell base. The wooden parts are kept suspended within the metal frame, highlighting the contradiction between the standardized, mass-produced legs and the handmade, wooden components that symbolize the alienation of materials in an industrial context. This chair is assembled within 340 seconds, the same amount of time as a Herman Miller Aeron Chair, which is considered a miracle of American industry.

Cameron Lasson is an interdisciplinary artist based in Providence, RI. His work draws attention to the minutiae of our material relationships in everyday life: what often goes unnoticed and fades into our peripheral consciousness. In his practice he investigates the duality of industry and craft by creating objects with hybrid identities as a means of exposing the absurdity and arbitrariness of our everyday built world. His work often co-opts found industrial artifacts with handcrafted techniques, blurring the line between the industrial and synthetic, the crafted and natural.
