Pair of Rare Iridium Ballet Chairs by Jordon Mozer in Original Upholstery
Jordon Mozer Iridium Ballet chairs: Presenting a pair of rare Iridium Ballet Chairs, masterfully designed by the renowned artist Jordon Mozer. These exquisite chairs showcase Mozer's signature aesthetic and expert craftsmanship. Upheld in their original upholstery, these stunning chairs maintain their authentic charm and elegance.
The chairs were created 30 years ago for Iridium, a restaurant and jazz club across from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, where the ballet is located.
The project imagined what it might be like to accompany Clara in her Nutcracker dream, and was influenced by Goethe’s Romantic notion that “architecture is like frozen music†- we imagined that the music was so fresh (originating right across the street) that it would be entirely frozen yet – hence the liquid quality of the building/ interior / furnishings.
When Goordon was in high school he was a moderately talented springboard diver. His coach was disappointed with his ability to arch his back and point his toes, and, frustrated with his lack of discipline, he sent him to train with the girls in ballet class.
The women in the class were very flexible, (backbends were tortuous for me). They wore toe shoes and leg warmers. Similarly, the chairs are arching their backs and they wear toe shoes and leg warmers.
He carved wood to create the sculpture from which the chairs frames are cast in recycled aluminum-magnesium alloy in Chicago. The frame is solid metal. The only wood in the chairs is underneath the upholstery in the seat and back cushions."
34"H X 27" D X 20 1/2" W, Seat height 18"
