Fallen
Chair
Nature meets chaos in this visually captivating chair design. A waterfall-inspired wood seat blends with an mischievous industrial steel base.
Exhibition furniture
Initial scaled-down prototypes were developed using both 3D printing and traditional model-making techniques using the actual materials to assess the feasibility of the concept.
Prototyping
The seat was made with baltic birch plywood and the base frame was made of a single round steel bar bent to achieve its characteristic shape.
Chair Building
The individual stripes that form the seat in conjunction with the change of direction along the different panels communicate flow and movement.
Why the seat looks like that?
The base smoothly frames the seat to create contrast and play between negative space and stability.
Why the base looks like that?
To create visual and conceptual contrast: between the base’s shape and the seat’s shape, between the top heavy and stable looking section and the empty and apparently unstable bottom section, between the nature-inspired seat and the human-industrial inspired base, and between the color transition.
Each side of the chair provides a completely different visual sensation.
Why do it this way?
