Protégé and budding colleague of the Campana brothers, Victor Monserrate's striking Kanutos Lounge Chair series evoke something of the Campanas penchant for celebrating the mundane. The chairs consist of a simple low-slung lounger, seat and back consisting of multiple strands of woven wicker looped around the twin supports that form the base and upper frame and joined up high by a pair of non-descript wooden slats.
While not actually incorporating “found” objects like the Campanas Monserrate embraces similar ideas of reconfiguration; wild grasses gone to seed, the inverted over-used broom head, or the nasty hair of one of those horrible "Troll" dolls.
