The Unusual Art of Nicu Suciu from Susti (Şuşti), Bihor County
2006
The Unusual Art of Nicu Suciu from Susti, Bihor County
Everybody knows him in the area, and he might even open up a museum one day. He's the guy who decorated a room in his house with furniture made out of animal bones.

But first a bit of suspense as his wife took us through the other rooms... One was full of pots, laid on top of each other to form lamps, or serving as lampshades in the chandelier. We moved on, and got to the second room, where plastic bottle caps were used to serve as a carpet on the floor, and where there were also a table and chairs made of these caps and of plastic tubes that form bottles when expanded.

Finally, we reached the third room, with all its furniture made of bones, except for the frame of the bed, which had a wooden frame and was only covered in bones.

I asked Nicu Suciu's wife about these bones. They come from a cave found close to the village where Nicu grew up. As a child he knew of people who would throw away their dead animals in this cave. As an adult, he went to recuperate the bones, washed them well, and started building furniture for his new house.
