Ontwerp voor een stoel c. 1934s

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this chair design with pencil on paper. Look at the way the lines are drawn – tentative but sure, a little wobbly, as if he's thinking through the object as he draws it. The whole thing feels like a diagram, yet it's got a kind of charm. The light sketchiness of the lines makes it seem almost playful. It reminds me of a Cy Twombly drawing, but with a purpose – this is a chair that someone might actually sit on, not just a beautiful abstraction. But is it? I mean, would you sit on this chair? It's all about the process, you know? The physicality of the pencil on paper, the way the lines vary in thickness and darkness. All these little details add up to something more than just a design for a chair. It's about the act of creation, the way an idea takes shape through the hand. I wonder if Sol Lewitt ever designed furniture? Now that would be something.
