Kristen Wentrcek and Andrew Zebulon have collaborated for over a decade as Wentrcek Zebulon with a practice rooted in material experimentation and sculptural resonance. Based in New York City, the duo creates a wide range of works, from functional furniture to sculptural artifacts, embracing an aesthetic that is simultaneously tactile and analytical.
The Club Chair is part of a furniture series made from hand-carved industrial-grade foam, coated in thick layers of pigmented rubber. Blurring the line between utility and sculpture, the chair’s dense, skin-like surface and brute proportions evoke dissonant sensations of unexpected softness and visual unease.
