Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
The digital world often forces tradeoffs between two opposing preferences: speed and quality. When working with images, speed often translates to lower resolution, compressing elements to simplified shapes. During this process, it is the computer, compelled by necessity, that makes the decisions about what is taken out and what is left. If we apply this bargain to existing products, we see that certain aspects of the product come to the front, while others recede.
This lounge chair is the perfect spot to spend your lazy Sunday afternoon reading a book. The inside of the chair is padded with soft cushions while the outside is covered with a structure of 8000 cable-ties. Every cable-tie is painstakingly stripped to another to give it the spiky appearance of the sea creature it’s named after.
