Model Chair

2013-2014

This chair is inspired by an ad-hoc way of working and thinking. The idea of putting elements together quickly and then making that temporary joinery permanent and celebrating it, in this chair through casting the originally hot glue joints in white bronze. With furniture, an objects worth can often be determined by the way the parts are connected and how much craft and time goes into these connections. With this chair, the form was chiefly dictated by a process largely removed from craft and much more gestural. Preciousness and joint strength was returned through casting the hot glue in white bronze. My goal was to create something that was both calculated and gestural, that played with a new way of working and thinking, a structurally sound object created with a quick and messy gesture.
