About the Item

Bradley Bowers’ 'Frank' hardly resembles a chair at all—there’s no obvious seat, and the tubular form gives it a psychedelic pool noodle vibe. Yet the New Orleans-based designer obsessed over its ergonomics and optimized the central opening so it’s just big enough to rest without getting stuck. He also streamlined its dimensions to be cushy but not bulky. The sense of mystery was intentional: “I don’t want someone to immediately understand how to use it,” Bowers says. “I want them to discover it, then realize how much they like it.” The sinuous, graceful lines of this chair embrace within a soft, yet muscular form. As shown upholstered in an orange and teal ombré textile of Bowers' own design, this piece can also be specified in COM (customer's own material) with a lead time of 8-10 weeks. About the Artist: Bradley L. Bowers' work explores the dynamic overlap between rapid-prototyping and artisanal craftsmanship. The studio uses contemporary digital-modeling tools in unison with traditional craft techniques to achieve objects and forms that redefine the norms. After earning honors and advanced degrees from the Savannah College of Art and Design, the Atlanta native founded his studio to bring the worlds of art and design together. He creates site-specific new media art installations, pop-up experiences, and bespoke pieces for fashion brands, art institutions, and private clients. As well as exhibiting work in Miami, New York, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Milan, his work is in a variety of permanent collections, both public and private.
