After our first presentation as a duo during Salone Del Mobile 2007, our first commission under the name Kranen/Gille presented itself. Gallery Priveekollektie in Heusden invited us to make a series of chairs based on the “Forest” dining chair we designed earlier that year. We decided to take the opportunity to use the narrative character of the chair’s backrest as a palette to tell the (developing) story of Kranen/Gille in 7 chapters. The 4-layer laser cut backrest depicted the following: A Forest Chair A New York Chair - Sold Out A Coney Island Chair A Baikonur Chair An Industrial Revelation Chair A Chrystal Palace Chair A 7th Chair
