This oversized chair is the perfect blend of whimsy and luxury, offering a tongue-in-cheek take on the classic British tradition of teatime. But don't be fooled by its playful appearance - this artwork packs a punch. It's a bold reminder of our society's obsession and love of consumption. Whether it's the actual "tea" we're drinking, the gossip tabloids we're reading (aka - "spill the tea"), or the desire to escape to a world of spinning teacups, Simmons challenges us to rethink our thirst for more. So go ahead, let it brew some serious contemplation - it's a piece that's sure to leave you steeped in thought and questioning the status quo.
