    The ‘Little Prince’ chair was originally designed for the production ‘Wings on Rock’. The essence of reductiveness, this child-like stick figure of a chair - perhaps because it can’t be bothered to waste more energy than is necessary? - projects, ironically, a sense of weight, or at least permanence, which lends it an air of authority. Grounded, like a vegetable, its legs, like shoots, seem to have sprouted from the earth, implying they have roots, deep and strong.
