Meltdown Chair, PE Pink by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition
Meltdown Chair, PE Pink by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition

Meltdown Chair, PE Pink by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition

By Tom Price

Located in PARIS, FR

'Meltdown Chair, PE Pink' is a piece by English artist Tom Price, from the Meltdown Series. This chair is made entirely from polyethylene sheets, no other material is added. The artist creates a knotted mass of pink polyethylene sheeting and then he presses it on a heated metal seat-shaper former. The sheets melt and, when they cool and subsequently harden, the shape of the seat is created, while the remaining plastic is heated and sculpted into solid twisting forms. Tom Price thus alters the structural and aesthetic qualities of the plastic material, giving rise to interesting contrasts in texture and form within the same object. Launched in 2007, the Meltdown Series earned Tom Price widespread international acclaim for his innovative production processes and eye-catching approach to working with commonplace plastic products. The way of assembling the plastic material and the mostly unpredictable patterns created by the heating method ensure that every piece is unique and unrepeatable. This design pieces are true sculptural objects, while at the same time being fully functional and very robust. Meltdown Chairs are included in the permanent collections of several Museums, including SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (US), the Denver Art Museum (US), The Nelson Atkins Museum (US), Chatsworth House (UK), MKG Hamburg (Germany) and the Amore Pacific Museum (South Korea). Works from the Meltdown Series have been exhibited extensively throughout the USA, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. They have been included in many high-profile museum exhibitions, including SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (US), MAD Museum of Art and Design New York (US); The Mint Museum (US); Denver Art Museum (US); Design Museum Holon (Israel); Design Museum Gent (Belgium); NRW Forum Dusseldorf (Germany); The Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga (Latvia). They have also featured at international art and design fairs, including Design Miami Basel (Switzerland); Sao Paolo Design Festival (Brazil); Cheongju International Craft Biennale (South Korea), Design Days Dubai (United Arab Emirates); Gwangju Biennale (South Korea) and Lodz International Design Biennale (Poland). Finally, the series has been featured in multiple publications, including: The Campaign for Art...
