Chaos Chair by Atelier V&F

About the Item

Chaos Chair by Atelier V&F Limited Edition Of 24+2AP Pieces. Dimensions: D 95 x W 70 x H 110 cm. Materials: Goatskin offcuts and cast brass. 「Chaos Chair」descends infinitely closer to the ground, solidly and steadily, like a steep hill or a ready beast. The pure black long hair of the covering fleece is metaphoric of the chaos that blankets everything. It is vaguely shaped and subtly reflecting light. The light falls from the zenith of the rounded back to its four border corners, unimpeded. The legs and bones of the chair are made by metal casting, which we have been repeatedly experimenting with in recent years, and which also demonstrates our understanding of chaos in terms of techniques. The heated brass melts and loses its shape, becoming one and everything at the same time. Liquid metal slowly cools down and takes shape while flowing along, like lava in the unfathomable depth of the earth, dynamically still. Atelier V&F was co-founded by Chen Furong and Vega Zaishi Wang in Shenzhen. Chen Furong graduated from the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, majoring in comprehensive design. And he started the design studios WUU and CHEN FURONG Studio. Vega Zaishi Wang graduated from the London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martin and founded the designer brand VEGA ZAISHI WANG. The designers’ professional background and artistic upbringing become the intrinsic character of Atelier V&F. Their expertise, professional knowledge, and years of experience in the design field are the fertile ground for the development and exploration of Atelier V&F that enable it to break the divide of territories and cultures, and with an inclusive narrative to interpret aesthetics and functionality. The two designers’ poetics of life and living, their respect for different materials’ true nature, and their unceasing pursuit of exquisite craftsmanship instill vitality into Atelier V&F’s works from artistic sculptures, installments, and space to practical and utilitarian objects. Vega’s intuitive riding on fashion’s romantic urge and flow and Furong’s philosophical perspective on practical design is combined in one artistic expression, making their works both detailedly practical and ceremonial. As a married couple, the duo instills powerful emotional strength to the work of Atelier V&F, trying to interpret and represent the non-utilitarian and simple beauty in a coldly rational and precise world.
