The Kamm Teapot Foundation is fortunate to have a Wendell Castle chair called Aeolus in its collection. The work was originally featured in his 2010 exhibition called Rockin’ at the Barry Friedman Gallery in New York. Castle used laminated bleached mahogany for Aeolus. This large ovoid chair, which resembles a teapot, contains a looping handle-like shape that serves as a backrest and a spout-like projection that acts as a table. When Aeolus was created, Castle said it was “grooved like a gourd of some type.”
