Angel Chair from Cars Never Die Collection by Alê Jordão, Brazil

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Contemporary One of a Kind ''Angel'' Chair from ''Cars Never Die'' Collection by Brazilian Artist Alê Jordão.

The Angel chair is made of repurposed old Volkswagen beetle car parts painted in silver.

Noticing the great number of abandoned cars in the streets of Brazilian metropolises, Alê Jordão envisioned the collection “Cars Never Die”, repurposing what was previously scrap metal into bold pieces that stand at the very edge between art and design. Every piece is made by hand by the artist, who bends and welds old Chevettes, Opalas and Kombis, among other nacional automobile industry icons, into unique sculptures that function as chairs and tables. One by one, Alê forges these art-objects in such a way to retain in the piece its meaningful manufacture process, keeping it alive and part of the finished piece. “Each dent is different. The piece’s finishing is always a surprise”, says the artist.
