Margaret Thatcher
13 October 1925 / 8 April 2013 · London
A furnishing object of flexible yet decisive character, open to many uses: centrepiece, tray, catch-all, but also a sculptural presence in an entrance hall, on a desk, in a room. It holds the daily essentials — keys, perfumes, notes — with order and presence. It is built from a metal sheet folded in a zig-zag, a sequence of sharp, geometric pleats that trace rhythm and resistance. The material is sober yet vibrant, reflecting light in an essential way, never decorative. Everything is structure, direction, essence. And it is precisely in this uncompromising form that the echo of the Iron Lady is found: like this object, she did not seek to please, but to endure.
"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."
