Note du spécialiste

This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Mieko Kuramata and dated 25 June 2003.





The Acrylic Stool With Feathers was originally conceived for Spiral, a Tokyo gallery and shopping complex. The stool offers a philosophic transcendance as the feathers captured in the block appear to float, weightlessly, creating an illusion as to the actual weight of the work.
