The Idea of a Chair – Krabbesholm workshop

Poster for 'The Idea of a Chair' – made by students as part of supervised workshop.

Form without purpose and goal is rarely meaningful to debate – at least not in relation to the discussion of the poster as a mean of expression. Using the building stones of the poster – composition, image and typography – we tried anyway. A line of constraints were necessary: Create a defined image without any clear origin. Find words or sayings without clear meaning. Establish a composition of image and word without direction and purpose. The result was a series of more than 40 silkscreen printed posters – each one of them surprisingly powerful and vibrating vivid.
