    Talking Ideology phantoms

    Hi everyone!
    The design of this armchair is based on the stylised image of a "Sickle and a Hammer" on bronze decorative panels of station "Proletarskaya" the Moscow underground. I happen at this station very often. And once I have seen that in this symbol the armchair design is hidden and ciphered.
    A "Sickle and a Hammer" - one of symbols of a socialism and proletariat dictatorship in Russia. This symbol was a part of a national flag of the USSR (1922 - 1991). Architects and designers in the USSR sometimes used a "Sickle and a Hammer" as a decor element in an ornament of buildings, constructions and life subjects. Russian style of the modern art "Sots-Art" in the seventieth and eightieth years of the twentieth century united artists who did comic compositions with application of symbols of a socialism.
    Materials - birch waterproof plywood, the American walnut (timbers and veneers 0,6mm). Contact glue and Polyurethane glue.It is finished - tung oil.
    An armchair completely the folding.
    Attention! The upholstery of a seat of an armchair is made of synthetic fur. I am the vegetarian and I support full refusal of use of natural fur and a genuine leather . The Fur - is murder!
    P.S. On an armchair I sit not. On an armchair my friend Ilya plays the fool.

    Very nice chair Andrey. We occasionally see some work from your country and it is always interesting.

    Очень приятно председатель Андрей. Мы иногда вижу, что некоторые работы в вашей стране, и это всегда интересно.

    That's a great design Andrey. I'd be interested to see it made with the sides laminated, would look even cooler I reckon.

    Yes, too it is pleasant to me and it seems interesting!
    In the today's world the design also is subject to globalisation. It is the come true fact. It is sometimes difficult to understand where this or that piece of furniture is made. The style of life and style of subjects of a life becomes universal. In the course of work on an armchair I aspired not only to make a modern piece of furniture, but also to introduce national specificity.

    Yes, you are absolutely right! I at first have conceived the sides of an armchair and wished to make as laminated. But the life has disposed on another. Unexpectedly to me have informed that I will participate in the architectural festival. Time for manufacturing of an armchair at me almost was not.I Worked also in the day and sometimes at night. To save time, it was necessary to do the sides not laminated, and of birch plywood. Necessary changes in conformity to the initial plan will be made to the following version of an armchair.

    a very clever design and brilliant craftsmanship, but I'd feel a bit unconfortable sitting on the sickle just because I had to escape these phantoms many years ago .
    The world is changing - as Groggy said

    All the best Andrey
