English designer
created "Meltdown,"
a series of chairs in a variety of
"non-traditional" furniture materials including .....
plumbing tubes, polypropylene rope, nylon cable ties,
crumpled polypropylene sheets, plastic rugs,
& polyethylene sheets.
He presses a heated metal chair-shaped former
into a stack of any of these materials .....
the materials melt as they come into contact with
the heated former ......
leaving the irregular seat shapes.
In the case of the bronze chair,
he uses a "lost-plastic" casting technique ...
a combination of the melting materials & a mold technique.
I adored "meltdown" collection when I saw it at
exhibited by Industry Gallery ......
& I loved it last week at Design Days Dubai,
where it was exhibited by Brussels Designart Dealer
The chairs are an editions of 8 ...
except my favorite the multi color "rug chair,"
which is unique!!!
