hongtao zhou: bench made of 1000 belts
the bull's head
chinese artist hongtao zhou's bench made of 1000 belts is a two-ended seating option: one is a 'belt buckle'
that functions as an end table, while the other is a bull's head made of chair parts and belts.
the curving structure is a metal frame in which the belts are wrapped around, creating the supporting seat surface.
all the belts were collected or donated by people in madison, wisconsin, each one holding a personal story.
