‘‘In the center of the garden, gold leaf lamps guide you to an elevated room, like an altar, whose walls, floors and ceilings are covered with the same deep blue Sunbrella fabric. At the back of the room, opposite you, sits, as if on a throne, like a king, a giant teddy bear with blue fabric skin, his head cramped by the ceiling which is too low for him. The bear is illuminated by two Refuge Lamps, presented here for the first time, which are also covered with the same blue fabric, and protected by a small army of Les Araignées chairs, still in the same material. You are standing at his feet and, four meters high, this Bear King, who has let his crown and sceptre fall to the ground, looks at you with a sad, marble gaze, a golden tear oozing from his right eye. Like an allegory of a lost childhood. He invites us, with his tender body, to come and lie against his belly, between his legs, or to sit on his plump thighs, behind his marble feet.’’ – Sunbrella® tentang instalasi Le Roi.
