Monoknit Chair

July 5th, 2008

A low-chair made from polypropylene cord. A part of the chair is heated causing the cord to shrink and harden. Because of the knit, the whole structure pulls itself together, making it more stiff. This forms the constructive shell of the chair, while the seating part stays untreated. Through the monomateriality of the chair, it is not only easy to produce, but also easy to recycle.

Animal chairs

January 30th, 2008

When you take off the skin of a cow, there’s the meat. When you take off the meat, you have the skeleton. My chairs are constructed like a creature:
skeleton, meat, skin. I reconstruct metal frames I found on the dump based on anatomic rules. Like an archeologist who finds a dinosaur skeleton.

The chairs: Kurt, Kauer, Kummer

Kurt

January 30th, 2008

kurt is a luscious chair with the look and feel of an armchair, but the proportions and the inner life of a kitchen chair. It’s clearly animalic shape make it look like a toy, but the materials and the treatment is grown up.
