Cloud Chair by Philipp Aduatz

About the Item

Cloud Chair by Philipp Aduatz Limited Edition of 8 Dimensions: D 50 x W 50 x H 82 cm Materials: Wood, wire, polyurethane foam, epoxy and polyurethane resin, glass fibers, lacquer. Each piece looks different The idea of the Cloud Chair is to use the natural expansion of a polyurethane foam used in construction for insulation. The concept is to create a cloud or steam-like geometry by the foam process directly applied out of the can. Therefore, the chair has no inner support structure to allow the foam process the maximum freedom of natural arrangement. To make the chair usable and to provide a carrying construction, Aduatz experimented with different resins and fillers. Finally, adding glass fibers to the resin made the hull structure of the chair sustainable for load carrying without giving up the natural shape of the foam. The chair was finished with lacquer in a gradient brightness. Vienna-based Designer Philipp Aduatz (born 1982) creates limited-edition functional objects that are highly sculptural in nature. Working with innovative materials and fabrication technologies, Aduatz is very much influenced by scientific matters such as chemistry, physics, and material technologies. His process combines traditional craft concepts and techniques with cutting-edge implements such as 3D printing, 3D laser scanning, CNC milling, and Rapid Prototyping. The experimentation with different materials and their behavior is an important part of his research at the intersection of design and sculpture. Greatly influenced by sculptors such as Constantin Brancusi and Tony Cragg, the designer aims to develop a distinct language of form in each of his pieces, encouraging a new discourse between the object and its user or viewer.

Melting Chair by Philipp Aduatz
By Philipp Aduatz
Located in Geneve, CH
Melting chair by Philipp Aduatz 2011 Edition of 12 + 3 A/P Dimensions: 95 x 93 x 78 cm Materials: Glass fibre reinforced polymer with a special silver coating New since 2012: special black chrome edition of 12 + 3 A/P Philipp Aduatz´ intention in the design of the Melting Chair is to capture a transient transformation within a sculptural object. The Melting Chair, which is suitable for use, is carefully crafted to appear to the viewer either as a solid chair melting away or as a solidification of a liquid melt. Usually, materials can be observed in certain aggregate phases: they can be solid, fluid or gaseous, but not at the same time. Only during phase transitions the borders between these phases become blurred. This moment of change seems utterly fragile and filled with fascinating possibilities at the same time. Aduatz main goal in the design of the Melting Chair was to hold on to this fleeting moment and phrase his fascination for it into a usable object. To create a realistic illusion, Aduatz studied the solidification of fluids as well as the melting of solids with modern 3D animation software. With this background, he designed the surface of the object down to the smallest detail - like an architect plans...
