Back from the gallery. John Cederquist builds amazing furniture. If throughout the XX Century "form follows function" was an architectural rule, the post-Modernists have thrown it out the window. He draws from Surrealism, cartoons and Japanese art to design and assemble quirky, strangely shaped chairs and chests that no matter how bizarre they appear, actually work. Astonishing stuff, really. I think he's the last Surrealist . . .
You're right. His work is unusual, but very interesting.
