Celery Chair With Carrots,
Peppers, and Sno Pea
The Celery Chairs
have bent celery stalks for back legs with a sno pea as the back
rest. The front legs are either peppers or carrots, and the
spindles in the back are carrots on the chairs with pepper legs
and peppers on the chairs with carrot legs. Eight of these chairs
were produced in 1992-93. Six of the eight were painted
"natural vegetables" and a pair was produced in
naturally finished Swiss pear. The seats are covered in supple
leather in either eggplant or squash blossom color.
The chairs have been exhibited in
numerous museum and gallery exhibitions and featured in
publications such as American Craft.
