BLOC Wedge Upholstered Lucite Chair by Caroline Chao

About the Item

As seen in: Sight Unseen, Interior Design Magazine, Surface Magazine, Residence Magazine BLOC Wedge Chair is part of a five-piece collection of sculptural upholstered and mixed-material furniture. BLOC Collection draws inspiration from familiar geometric shapes often associated with children’s play blocks, such as a cube, wedge, triangle, and cylinder. These shapes and geometries are highlighted by their material contrast - transparency versus solidity, softness versus hardness, and textured and imperfect versus smooth and fine. Unconventional material additions such as transparent lucite blocks transform familiar shapes associated with childhood and play into elevated sculptural objects and provide functionality and comfort from otherwise abstract geometric forms. BLOC Wedge Chair can be used as a side chair or accent chair. Its wedge-like form and thick solid lucite seat block provide surprising strength and solidity despite the appearance of fragility due to its cantilevered and fully transparent seat. Materials include: Fabric upholstery, clear lucite solid block seat, wood and foam structure. FABRIC INFORMATION: Fabric Feel: Soft, low to medium pile Wear Rating: 100,000 Double Rubs (smooth); 50,000 Double Rubs (textured) Content: 100% Crypton Polyester Certifications: CA Bulletin-117-Class 1, CA Prop 65 Compliant , GREENGUARD Gold Certified, NFPA 260 - Class 1, UFAC - Class 1 COM orders: sample submit prior to order Size or upholstery can be customizable upon request. Please contact us and we would be happy to work with you on a custom version to suit your needs.

  • VIEW Glass Mirror Accent Coffee Table by Caroline Chao
    By Caroline Chao
    Located in New York, NY
    VIEW Coffee Table is part of a five-piece collection of sculptural glass and mirror furniture seeking to bring interactive views into objects and furniture. VIEW Coffee Table is made from ultra-clear low-iron glass and mirrored glass base. While furniture typically hides its interior structure, this piece creates an unexpected view into the depth of its base, visible through the tempered low-iron glass tabletop. Through the use of mirrors and dichroics, the view through the base dynamically changes throughout the day, changing color from a deep blue to a teal, blue-purple, and golden tones depending on the view angle and the environment. The collection represents the belief that objects have the capacity to shift perceptions. Views are used to challenge the viewer through intrigue, curiosity, and joy when unexpected visual effects are produced through interaction with the pieces. The pieces change constantly as you live with them - colors may change with the sun angles throughout the day, a reflection may shift when viewed from a different angle, or the piece may create an optical effect that displaces or distorts your reflection in an unexpected way. The user is encouraged to participate in the reflections, in a sense becoming a part of the piece. Materials: low-iron glass, mirror film, dichroics, steel base plate, tempered low-iron glass tabletop. Comes with pre-installed cushioned felt furniture...
