Imagine a form composed of a simple object of everyday use. Imagine it to have passed through the process of artistic conceptualization. Now hail “The Sofa” by Ivan Venkov. The Sofa is a concept which links the past with the future. It is a weird, nonetheless imaginative and attractive design for a couch. The past gets represented in form of “symbolic tusks” and a fur that’s tossed over. The future, one would guess, gets represented in the imaginative design itself, along with the metallic finish. Symbolically, Ivan says, The Sofa has been tagged as such because the various forms are joined much as people. The object symbolically stands for “relations and their constructions.” As far as the utility is concerned, The Sofa looks to be lacking. It is safer in the realms of artistic symbolism and futuristic conceptualization.
