Barre Stool
In high school, the artist attended dance classes at the pointed direction of his springboard diving coach.
These Barre Stool forms recall ballet dancers, and their flexible arching backs, wearing leg warmers and toe shoes. These stools were created for Mozer's design for Iridium Restaurant and Jazz Club, located just across the street from New York City’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The restaurant imagined accompanying Clara in her Nutcracker dream and was infused with imagery from dance and Goethe's suggestion that "architecture is like frozen music".
PROCESS + MATERIALS
The stool was created by hand-carving maple sculptures and casting the forms in recycled aluminum. The castings were hand polished and welded together. The seat is upholstered in wool mohair.
