Do Hit is a seating design for droog by Marijn Van Der Poll produced in 2000 and has become one of their best-known items. Consisting of a steel cube, it formally resembles (initially at least) a minimalist sculpture emblematic of those produced by canonical practitioners of the 60s and 70s, such as Robert Morris or Donald Judd. However, it comes complete with a large mallet, with which you are allowed to literally hit the work until you attain your preferred shape for sitting on. Do Hit violently illustrates the historical differentiation between design and art – that of purpose. There will be a performance of Do Hit at the preview of On Purpose.
