There’s something Duchamp-esque about the latest work of Chris Labrooy. The British artist and designer’s ongoing remix project, Garden of Eames, transforms the classic Eames shell chair, designed in 1950, into surreal fine art that packs an absurdist punch.

Labrooy, who has also worked for brands like Apple, Nike, and Porsche, isn’t shy about pushing the Eames’s timeless design into strange and surprising places. In some pieces, he transforms the original fiber material into colorful fluid shapes that look as if they’re made out of gummy candy. Other reinventions play with repetition; in one, Labrooy mounted several white shells along a single base, making it look like someone applied the Photoshop clone stamp tool. Other seats grow spherical appendixes along the underside of the simple shell, partially obscuring the chair’s wiry legs.
