rzlbd's unsittable thrones for dictators explore design's symbolic relationship to authority
Briefly

RZLBD's Thrones for Dictators project provocatively reimagines chairs to challenge their associations with authority, discomforting users and questioning power dynamics.
Historically, thrones symbolize dignity and status; RZLBD critiques this by removing comfort, forcing a reconsideration of how power is represented through design.
The design studio's playful yet discomforting iterations of thrones prompt a reflection on complacency and the dark facets of power held by their occupants.
By altering traditional chair designs, RZLBD's project subverts expectations about authority and design, encouraging dialogue on the implications of comfort in power.
