PEDESTALS SHOULDN’T ONLY BE RESERVED FOR PEOPLE WITH NAPOLEON COMPLEX OR GRAND IDEOLOGIES. THEY SHOULD EXIST FOR EVERYONE. FOR THE DIGNITY OF QUIRKINESS. FOR THE EVERYDAY LIFE — FROM ITS ABSURDITY TO ITS OVERWHELMING NORMALITY.

The Pedestal Project exists to give every single person their pedestal that makes them feel what they are: big and worthy. On this site, you will find different examples — maybe even the one you were always searching for. And if not yet, perhaps you will find yours here in the future. We are constantly evolving to find the right pedestal for every single person. Discover the collection!

A glimpse of future pedestals

For those whose wanderlust doesn’t stop at north, south, east or west but at their own four walls. For the flâneurs who don’t need to be seen in a city but stroll at home. For those who make every step a whispering meditation that worships their greatest artwork: Their body. Step by step. L’art pour l’art. Your body is your sculpture. It deserves a pedestal.

For all the storytellers whose own story may never be told. Those who would rather drown than miss a tiny sip of their drink. For those who always pour too much for others. For all who can forgive because they will forget. Those who can sit, but cannot walk — yet nevertheless prefer an eccentric dance toward the bathroom. Your body is your sculpture. It deserves a pedestal.
