Chairs Oleg Zhogina designed mainly to admire. Sit in the house there is always on what, but where to put your eyes, what to rejoice with your soul is a question. And the picture - only one solution. And another option - a chair-sculpture.Grandmother, supervisor of the museum. This chair is made of local materials and objects. Everything is touched by time, rust. Everything has a glorious biography. The chair is dedicated to local grandmothers, museum attendants. You see what kind of household (recruit teapots!) And home women. They are harmonious, bright and quiet - this is how the museum atmosphere acts on them.Second chair. Here we have a very stylized figure of a woman. On the sides - her two children. The seat is a full skirt. Legs ... Madonna and Babies ... Chess chair. More precisely, this is the “Debut of Two Horses”, and all the moves are written on the chair: e2-e4, etc. They look like holy runes ... I wrote and thought: “But these badges really decide destinies. Pawns, queens, their favorite elephants ... And these destinies are formed in a chess ornament, enclosed in frames of chair forms - powerful, architectural, surging. Like time. "
