Chairs.
They have marked the history of design and have heritage value. They feature in the collections of the world’s greatest museums. Pieces, all found on the streets of Paris or, even more surprisingly, on an island, Porquerolles.
Often in poor condition and ignored by passers-by, they are so valuable that they have been archived and showcased by Nicolas Goletto, who brings the past and present into harmony. Once restored, they are returned to their original function as chairs, but their weaknesses and flaws, which led to their rejection, are highlighted. Nicolas Goletto does not simply restore them, he constrains them through deliberate actions. Corrected, they reveal their scars. Exhibited, they bear witness. To the grand history of their design, known and recognised. And to the ordinary, multiple, everyday and practical lives they have lived through. An exchange, an unchanging intention. To bear witness so as not to forget.
