Sitting Outside the Rules: Chair Design

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • August 3, 2024 / 13:30

Will the future houses continue to be influenced by the Bauhaus design school that we are used to seeing in modern homes today? In the workshop inspired by the exhibition PƎR Reverse, the children learn about designs at different scales based on the understanding of interiors developed at the Bauhaus and share their experiences about the chairs they often use. After producing 1:1 scale drawings of different forms of seating, each child designs their dream chair for the future home by using simple geometric shapes prepared in advance. At the end of the workshop, each participant presents their design and diplays their chair.

Instructor: İpek Kay
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL

The event will take place in the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.

Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
