ANN DEMEULEMEESTER, Boho
Chair in beech
Black
L 48 W 46 H 69 cm (L 18.9 W 18.1 H 27.2 in)

Kalkeriet Contemporary is pleased to present the sculptural Boho chair, which provides a striking contrast to the light elegance of the Elé chair, offering a substantial yet refined presence. Though it occupies the same dimensions as the Elé, its design is distinguished by a cylindrical form sliced to create a round seat. The rounded backrest, which rises to 69 centimeters, extends outward to form two small arms along the top edge. A single plane supports the seat at a 45-degree angle to the back, establishing a vertical rhythm that beautifully contrasts with the horizontal circles of the seat and back.

Ann Demeulemeester founded her eponymous fashion label with creative partner Patrick Robyn in 1985, quickly becoming a key figure in redefining global fashion. After stepping down from her label in 2014, she began exploring new creative avenues, including sculpture and ceramics. Since 2019, Demeulemeester has collaborated with Serax to produce collections of porcelain, cutlery, and glassware, followed by a range of lighting and luminous objects. In September 2022, they expanded into furniture, releasing a collection of stools, chairs, tables, consoles, and sofas in various materials. Demeulemeester is renowned for her intelligent approach to design, transcending trends to create a continually evolving, deeply personal, and contextually relevant world. Her work explores the beauty of contrasts—strength and fragility, structure and nonchalance, poetic and radical, preciousness and functionality.
