Created by Belgian designer Pierre-Emmanuel Vandeputte, Legs is a furniture collection that is described as being composed of creatures with each presenting a different scale of proportions.
Made from powder-coated steel, the collection is comprised of a step ladder, chair, clothes rail, stool and table.
“They’ve made their way into a new space: a room that is familiar to you, but causes them to hesitate,” said Vandeputte. “Their legs freeze on paths to destinations unknown. They are stilled in time. What has brought them to your home?”
“As you approach, you begin to notice that their limbs extend to corners of the room that you left unfurnished and were quick to forget. What are they showing you?” asked Vandeputte. “Your legs mingle with theirs to walk a path of mutual discovery. Their bodies of cold steel contrast with curved articulations and flat uninterrupted surfaces.”
“Some are more easily suited to the indulgent pace of a lazy weekend morning; others to a brief gesture of acknowledgement as you run out the door, and others still to support simple evenings of deserved recovery,” explained Vandeputte. “Regardless of their nature, you are grateful for the strangeness of these Legs: suspended in fantasy and now rooted in the floor of your own home.”
