"All Your Base Are Belong To Us"
The name of this piece derives from a geeky, computer gamer's 'in joke' and now, popular internet meme. A pair of 1940s armchairs, utility in style, commissioned for Kettle - an animation studio. Designed in Kettle colours and with a tongue in cheek take on traditional suiting fabrics – an oversized pinstripe and a oversized dogtooth to give them a ‘cartoon’ feel. Both are constructed with traditional methods: sprung arms, back and seat with independent sprung edge, stitched black fibre and horsehair second stuffing. Placed side by side the turquoise arms bind the chairs together.
The oversized nature of the chair and the exaggerated proportions (which are made even more prominent by altering the frame e.g. increasing the arm angle) add further to the cartoon-like appearance.
