Art is salt and pepper in our lives. Art-things make interiors play with new facets, struggling with commonplace and boredom. And adjust the degree of their outrage to taste.

The eternal dispute between form and function in furniture and interior design has historically always been decided in favor of the latter. After all, who will be comforted by the unearthly beauty of the chair, if he has three legs and cannot sit on it? Perhaps only the gallery owner, promoting contemporary art. Another thing is a chair with six legs! Functionally unjustified, as if unnecessary details separate things from the crowd to them like them, and its owner from millions of people who are content with ordinary things.

After all, a modern designer is not as simple as it seems. He will not do a thing that is obviously unsuitable for use, because it will not be sold, and his name will remain widely known only in narrow circles. Another thing is an object that will be happy to see in a conceptual hotel and in a fashionable apartment. The so-called conversation piece is a thing around which a whirlwind of small talk is surely twisted, it is worth seeing it to your guests and acquaintances. It will be this easy chair seams to the outside of the skin, finely excised with a laser, or a teapot growing out of a porcelain tray, you decide.

So who said that art has no place in life? One should not think that only happy - and few - owners of giant lofts who can give a couple of hundred square meters of walls and floor to the beautiful can live with art objects.
