PROJECT: WRX24m Chair

Size: W500 D700 H 950mm

Material: bendable plywood, 0.5mm mirror polished aluminium

The concept for this stool was based on a self set challenge of using two paper strips (24cm x 2cm) to design a scale model of a chair, then to choose a building material which would create an exciting feature.

The core of the stool is a triple layer of bendable plywood, measuring 2400mm x 200mm, overlayed with a mirror-finish, polished aluminium sheeting (0.5mm).

Hand bent, and following the ergonomic shape of the human body, the plywood strips become ‘one’ with the chair and invite the onlooker to explore its shape and form. At the same time, the mirror-finish draws attention to the surroundings, expressing them through the chair’s undulating shape and reflected colours of the immediate environment.
