Reha Erdogan - Wantuz
Hail the advert of the a revolution in the design of modern bar chairs. The Wantuz by Reha Erdogan brings back the oldies with it’s hippy design and colors. The clear plexiglas is a play with shapes and opacity deliberately see through to allow the the glass holding vacuums their place in the equation adding to the general coolness of the piece.
The use of glass holding vacuums in the body frame of the Wantuz means that You have the flexibility to change colors, or shapes anytime you want according to your mood. Mix and match as you like, pair a black top and white bottom for some classic cool or what about pink and lime green for that psychedelic touch. The plexiglas being highly receptive to coloring can even be customized with your own designs (D.I.Y of course). With the recent popularity of spray paint as guerrilla art, I wonder it’ll be no wonder to me if I see works of art soon displayed on the billboards of this modern bar chair.
Reha Erdogan has indeed stumbled upon something which can modify how furniture is treated for years to come. He says,“inspiration came alive when i was visiting Bauhaus, a store in Istanbul. I came to realize how functional and very practical glass holding vacuums are and that they can hold considerable weight” and upon thinking further , “using colorful plexiglas pieces,…..these devices give you the freedom to change the colors in seconds whenever you get bored.” Well I can only wait and hope for the next thing which comes along to challenge me and I think it won’t be all that long.
