About the artwork
This Chaise longue by Dora Dolz was created on the initiative of restaurant Zochers and the artist herself and was unveiled on April 29, 1988. The sofa is not just an object to look at, but is actually made to sit on and use. Dolz painted and worked a lot with ceramics. The statue is composed of fired and glazed chunks of ceramic. She used distinct colors and shapes in her objects, which gave them something theatrical. This sofa is an extremely extroverted collection of curls and waves, reminiscent of a soft, thick fabric and not a hard glaze. Seen from the front, the sofa seems perspectively distorted: just like the pieces of furniture in the warm, colorful interiors that Dolz painted, the depth of which is not quite right. Nowadays Het Heerenhuys is a wedding location, so the artwork will be depicted in many wedding photos.
