I made the chair after a conversation I had with someone who told me about Louis XIV 's habit of feasting until he could eat no more and then retiring to a side room to vomit so that he could return to the feasting.

Chairs often show signs of the people that have used them - as if the chair has a memory of the person who sat in it - and I wanted the chair to show a sort of memory of Louis.
