26 Original Fakes

2017

First Forms
We worked with our friends and their families to develop a better understanding of the replica industry in Australia. The young people (most of whom we have known since they were born) are a forthright group (aged 3 – 13) and (like most younger folk) experience the world in a morally profound way. We asked them for their thoughts on the definition of originality, and to sketch the Jasper Morrison Hal Chair. The clear eyes of childhood revealed some gorgeous studies of the chair. We've pulled together these sketches and words in a poster for the exhibition (because posting a chair to Alice is, well, cost prohibitive and harder to stick to a wall).
