The installation by Delo features studio’s dining set with a Stolster table surrounded by eight signature chairs. Placed in the frame of a former military psychiatric hospital, an institution intended for indivudual’s isolation, they reinvent the space and turn it into an open room for a common experience.
The work is centered around the table which is a fundamental symbol of unity, bringing people together for essential practices — from sharing a meal to reaching a consensus.
The chairs of different silhouettes show the wide range of studio’s design and manufacturing abilities. To create a homogenous scene, Delo has collaborated with The DOT Home textile brand and upholstered the items with local fabric weaved in the modernized 19th century factory in Ivanovo. Installation was complimented by brand’s accessories and the painting by Saint Petersburg based artist Sasha Saari.
