Twig Loveseat
Originally designed for Nectar Restaurant by Mozer, this variation in finish and mohair upholstery was created in 2015 for the artist's residence.
Nectar Restaurant was inspired by Pre-Columbian American architecture and art of the southwest, a design commissioned by Steve Wynn for the opening of the Bellagio Resort Hotel in Las Vegas in 1997.
The design explored a branching twig motif, inspired by the inventive employment of organic forms by pre-Columbian indigenous peoples in their architecture and sacred artifacts. The motif informs the chair frame and material.
Nectar Restaurant immersed guests in a fantasy of Pre-Columbian southwestern civilization rendered in natural materials.
PROCESS + MATERIALS
The exoskeleton of the chair was hand-carved in maple, and then cast in 93% recycled magnesium-aluminum alloy then finished. It is upholstered in 100% wool mohair. The artist's name is cast into the frame. Made in Chicago.
