Contemporary chair Cazzaro
GLENN GOULD

The “Glenn Gould chair” project began in December 2005 when René Bouchara, a French designer, revealed to Cazzaro the fascinating universe of Glenn Gould, one of the most important pianist of XX century.
What made the chair so special was its history. His chair gave him an unusually low posture. Whether on stage, at home or in the recording studio, Glenn Gould always used this unique chair provided by his father in 1953. Glenn Gould’s father, Bert Gould, has modified a foldable bridge chair by sawing off 10 centimetres of each leg. After Glenn Gould’s disappearance, all of his recordings were redone. Once again, the chair followed the music, and precisely 25 years later it too, has become available.
