Stool 89a . JAY GARD . MARGARETHA 2 . Bow . 2019 . Ltd. Ed.

As one of three artists in residence in the Bauhaus anniversary year 2019, Jay Gard designed three editions of Marcel Breuer's Bauhaus Stools from 1926. Created in cooperation with the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and Thonet GmbH. The starting point for his color concept was Grete (Margaretha) Reichardt's design for a children's room carpet from 1929, which is exhibited as a reweaving from 1977 in the Bauhaus Dessau collection. Based on the analysis of the colors, a color range of 30 nuances was created, which in turn forms the basis for the composition of the circle elements. Jay Gard first transferred the colors onto carrier plates in his own workshop. The individual segments were cut out of the carrier plate by laser and then assembled to form inlays. This traditional craftsmanship of the physical color element on the one hand and the almost scientific-seeming development of serial color studies are the two poles of tension in Jay Gard's edition. With the combination of analysis, design and art, he is entirely in the tradition of the Bauhaus. Jay Gard lives and works in Berlin.
