Ai Weiwei — Double Stool
Ai Weiwei

Double Stool

2008

"Double Stool" by Ai Weiwei features two traditional Chinese stools joined together, merging functional objects into a single sculptural form. The work reflects Weiwei's ongoing dialogue with Chinese cultural heritage and craftsmanship, transforming everyday artifacts into contemplative art objects. Through this deceptively simple gesture, the piece raises questions about duality, utility, and the reinvention of historical tradition.
