A sculptural seating object by Franz West, the *Divan (Prototype)* embodies the artist's signature approach to functional yet deliberately awkward forms that challenge conventional notions of comfort and aesthetic refinement. True to West's philosophy of "Passstücke" and participatory art, the work invites physical engagement, positioning the viewer as an active participant rather than a passive observer. The piece blurs the boundary between furniture and sculpture, reflecting West's enduring interest in the social and bodily dimensions of art.
