Hey Chair, Be a Bookshelf! by Maarten Baas | Style Imitating Art

Last week, we featured micro sculptures as style inspiration which segues nicely into this week’s “regular sized sculpture” as our inspiration.

About Style Imitating Art

Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, and Marsha of Marsha in the Middle. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday, one of the hosts, acting as presenter, selects an inspiration image that they will each post on their blogs. The following Monday, each host shares her art inspired outfit. Participants are invited to submit their art inspired outfits to the presenter by 10:00 p.m. EST on the Tuesday following the hosts’ art inspired outfit posts. The following day, Wednesday, the presenter will share all of the submissions on her blog.

You don’t have to be a blogger to join either! In fact, you don’t even have to join but you can still use the art to inspire an outfit just for the sake of trying something different. If you want to share your inspired outfit, we invite you do so on Instagram or any other social media platform that you prefer. Just be sure to tag Salazar, Shelbee, or Marsha or use #TeamLOTSStyle and #StyleImitatingArt so the hosts know you have joined. Go have some fun in your closets and join the SIA challenge next week!

This Week’s Presenter

Marsha chose this week’s inspiration art. She has been training as a docent at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and she had to do a presentation on this piece for her class. Marsha, did you do your presentation yet? If so, how did it go?

The Artwork

By the way, I love the big foot sculpture in the background!

This is going to be either really easy to style or extra difficult. I’m hoping for the first!

If you are feeling creative and want to style your own outfit inspired by this furniture sculpture to be featured in Marsha’s review post on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, please be sure to submit your photos to her at mlrbanks57@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. 

Happy styling! 

Keeping it on the edge, 

Shelbee
