Sedia da Conversazione

This chair is more than a sculptural presence, it is a spatial essay, an exploration of proximity and shared experience.

Sedia da Conversazione is a double seat that invites reflection and encounter. Two people sit side by side, facing different directions yet remaining connected. With its architectural rigour, harmonious form, and integrated bookshelf, it blurs the line between design and art.

An Invitation to Dialogue

Sedia da Conversazione was commissioned by De Twee Pauwen, a private art gallery located in the heart of The Hague, Noordeinde. It was specifically conceived for the gallery’s upstairs room, which now bears the same name, “Conversational Room”. With this intervention, the space has been reimagined as a setting for reflection and dialogue, where guests are invited to pause, observe, and engage with the carefully curated artworks.

Sedia da Conversazione allows two people to sit side by side while facing different directions. One may look one way, the other another, yet a sense of connection remains between them. This quiet dialogue is deepened by the integrated bookshelf beneath the seat, equally significant in its role. Visitors are then encouraged to browse the selected publications, reflect on the surrounding pieces, or simply converse, creating a gentle moment of exchange within the gallery’s refined atmosphere.

Crafted with precision and designed with care, it blurs the boundary between furniture and art installation, and is capable of enhancing an entire space through its presence alone. It stands as an invitation to sit, observe, and connect.
