Overview

A stunning addition to any parlor or study. This handsome chainlink standing catchall, designed in the 1970s by artist Franz West, combines industrial materials with sculptural form. The piece features a horseshoe-shaped base, supporting a body made of welded iron chainlink. The textures and material speaks to the raw, unrefined aesthetic of Brutalist design. The open, interwoven links emphasize strength and simplicity, while the crystal tray atop provides a delicate contrast, balancing the ruggedness of the iron. A prong extends opposite of the tray, with a flat surface for burning candles. Rare piece, incredibly substantial.

Designer Notes
Franz West
b. 1947
Franz West (1947–2012) was an Austrian artist and designer renowned for his work in the Viennese Actionism movement, a style characterized by provocative, often performative art that sought to challenge societal norms and engage the audience in direct interaction. In addition to his performance art, West was also a renowned designer, particularly for his Brutalist work. West’s designs and sculptures often blurred the lines between art and functionality, incorporating unconventional materials and bold, experimental forms. His work, which included furniture, interactive sculptures, and everyday objects, invited viewers to not just observe but participate in the experience. West’s commitment to creating art that was both visually compelling and accessible made him a significant figure in contemporary design, leaving a lasting legacy of functional art that challenges traditional boundaries.
