Sander van Heukelom – New York Fat Cap Chair – Kickstarter

New York Fat Cap Chair – icon of expression –

 

Graffiti art – it all started in New York in the early 80s. Something amazing was happening in New York, and graffiti and hip-hop music spread from New York to every corner of the world. The New York Fat Cap was an important tool for graffiti artists – with it, large surfaces such as subways, could be covered quickly. And now, a few decades later, it still is essential in a graffiti artist’s gear.

 

Tool becomes furniture

By enlarging the New York Fat Cap to the right size and in the right proportions, Sander van Heukelom designed the New York Fat Cap Chair as an ode to this artistic freedom. Watch this clip to find out what New York graffiti artists have to say about it.
