Ontwerpen voor lampen, een stoel en een kast 1908

This drawing of lamps, a chair, and a cabinet was made by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, using pencil and paper. I love seeing these kinds of drawings; it gives you an insight into the artist’s mind, seeing their ideas evolve on the page. You can almost feel the artist working, their hand moving across the page, trying out different shapes and forms. Each stroke is tentative, searching for the right expression. I can imagine Cachet sketching these designs, pausing, and then adding another line or shape, slowly bringing his vision to life. It's like watching a conversation unfold between the artist and the design. It reminds me that art is a process. Each piece builds on what came before. You see artists like Cachet and you want to pick up a pencil yourself. It is a great reminder that art is an ongoing exchange of ideas across time.
