Grip of Power

Grip of Power transforms chairs into unsettling symbols of authority. Each object retains the familiar form of furniture, yet mutates into something more bodily: armrests stretch into sculpted hands, legs resemble limbs, and carvings dissolve into flesh-like textures. Cast entirely in red, they radiate both allure and menace, no longer neutral objects but icons of dominance. These are not chairs designed for comfort but for confrontation, thrones that embody the tension between support and control, elegance and unease. In their surreal mutation, the works suggest that power itself is never passive — it grips, shapes, and leaves its mark. By fusing design and allegory, Grip of Power reframes furniture as a stage for authority and its hidden costs.
