"A frame made of nickel-plated iron, a seat and backrest made of red copper, but also nickel-plated." The above assemblage, titled Strandstühle für unverheiratete Ehepaare, was created by the Ghent-based painter and plastic mobile designer Roland Van den Berghe. His Deckchair transforms according to the landscape. The cost is yet to be determined. An oddity: in the gleaming twin chairs, even non-married couples are not allowed to sit or rest. At most, one can make faces in them. The assemblage is still on display at the Triennial of the Southern Netherlands in Antwerp and will soon be exhibited at the Withofs Gallery in Brussels. Van den Berghe has also signed a contract with the gallery director for the delivery of ten chairs—seven destined for America and three for Europe. Other plans include the establishment of his own gallery and an upcoming exhibition… which he was not yet willing to disclose. So, if you buy a chair, choose a beautiful landscape to place it in and, most importantly, resist the temptation to lounge in it!"
