In 1993-1994, Wojciech Fangor produced a series of ten pictures featuring chairs. Previous to that, he painted already other series called Interfaces Space, Television Pictures, Polish Kings and Indian Chiefs, which presented different kinds of portraits and referred to the particularity of cultural phenomena from the time he was living in the United States.

Wojciech Fangor was intrigued by the tension between the ideal and the phenomenal, between what seems to be perfect and the ordinary that can be seen or found in the material world surrounding us. He was fascinated by musical instruments and their perfect shapes and was searching for similar forms among objects like chairs. Chairs, as well as musical instruments, are shaped according to the features of the human body, and they reflect a historical and social attitude towards it.
