Statement

The group of chairs is the result of an exercise that examines the process of developing and editing ideas for seating design. Each chair was started and finished within a 12-hour day. Materials were chosen primarily for their structural characteristics so the chair could be tested and used. The goal was to get to pure ideas separate from the material. Occasionally I would force a material to act in a way that it was not designed to do. These moments suggested ascension to the pure idea.
