Accidental Sculptures

When is a sculpture not a sculpture?

coathanger

When it's also a wooden coat hanger from Porte de Vanves 'Puces' in Paris.

testtube

Or a test-tube holder from the Jeu de Balle Flea Market Brussels.

kidschair

Or an amazing kid's chair from the ever-excellent Steve and Edele Sorrell at Spitalfields Antique Market.

I'll never know the anonymous designers who created these beauties, but each of them give me the same thrill that I get from modernist sculpture. Who needs a Brancusi with finds like these?
