Something new for 2010: A micro-manufacturing project featuring a line of chairs: A couple of lounge chairs, a director's chair, a bench, and a bar stool, ... all built around, of course, the LYROIS shapes.
Loud coffeehouses and calm lounges, as well as the big stage, or that stylish office -- a Lyrois chair might add the final touch in your quest towards extraordinary --
There is a high-class furniture line of high quality chairs in heavy wood and a fine art line of collector's chairs, sculptures in 25% scale, in translucent and colored acrylic glass.
Prices start at $500 for the 25% plain vinyl version (That's the exact respective chair model, made in 1:4 scale as an exclusive sculptural piece -- the height of, for example, chair #10 is 30cm or about 12in -- the play between shape and shadows is amazing!).
As always, I am making these on a custom basis and am able to make the chairs according to your input; size, and color, and material-wise. The shapes can't be altered though, it wouldn't be an original Lyrois anymore...

Introducing Lyrois' architectural essays, conversations between architecture and art --
The vision: Lyrois shapes in public spaces. (Backstory)
The plan: Using our beloved glass, steel, and concrete as the perfect canvas to create a dialogue between static architecture and dynamic art.
Looking for and at glass, steel, and concrete; there is one artist -- architect -- who provides iconic, clean, and clear structures and patterns to pick up and play with: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Granite or concrete?
Mies planned to use granite for an element of the entrance for the IIT. The president of the Institute suggested using less expensive concrete stating that the granite was barely visible anyway. Mies retorted: Concrete instead of granite you would see and asked the president to raise more money instead -- eventually he built with granite.(Related by Swiss architect Otto Kolb)
The inspiration: Linear divisions, spatial proportions, as well as details like huge pieces of marble cut in symmetrical patterns.
Like graffiti, the public landscape is the canvas to work on.
Unlike graffiti, the Lyrois pieces pick up the pattern of the underlying architecture and highlight both canvas and artwork.
The print-edition catalogue with all 14 works is available either as a PDF-file or in actual, real paper.
Selected works are available as limited-edition, high-quality prints.
Artwork may be ordered as-is or privately commissioned and custom-tailored to your environmental structure, color-scale, and local setting.
