About the Item

If there is any brilliant commentary on the commercialisation of design (and capitalism overall), it is surely the „Consumer’s Rest“ chair by ‚Stiletto‘ Studios. ‚Stiletto‘, civil name Frank Schreiner (* 1959 in Rüsselsheim), is a German postmodern postpunk author-designer of the so called ‚new German design‘. While studying visual communication in Berlin he became part of the subcultural eccentric and anarchistic „neoism“ movement – and in 1983 developed his early „masterpiece“: the „Consumer’s Rest“ chair. It is visually related to the famous wire chairs by Eames and Bertoia (which allegedly reminded his mother of shopping trolleys). Schreiner created the chair from a real supermarket shopping trolley by minimal interventions of cutting and bending. Schreiner became an allround artist and designer from experimental filmmaking to mail art, from stereoscopic photography to holographic installations. In 1988 he was a master student in Nam June Paik’s class at the Düsseldorf art academy and artist in residence at moma ps1 in New York. Since the 1990s, he worked as an artist. The „Consumer’s Rest“ chair is part of the collection of many design museums worldwide, including the Cooper-Hewitt in New York, Victoria & Albert in London, Neue Sammlung Munich or Mak Cologne. „Consumer’s Rest“ chair, 1983 by stiletto (Frank Schreiner). Transformed supermarket shopping cart manufactured by Brüder Siegel, Leipheim. Made of cut and bent zinc plated steel wire, on castors. Number 91 of a limited edition of 200 copies from 1990/91.
