About the Item

Joris Laarman [Dutch, b. 1979] Maker Chair (Voronoi), 2014 Walnut 30.75 x 23.75 x 25.5 inches 78 x 60 x 65 cm Edition of 16 Dutch designer, Joris Laarman, is internationally renowned for his utilization, and often innovation, of cutting-edge technology to create poetic, emotionally charged work that challenges the boundaries of design and science. Enlisting digital tools and parametric processes to create fluid forms inspired by nature, Laarman’s highly conceptual, groundbreaking work has redrawn the parameters of contemporary design. All that Laarman creates is imbued with his firm belief in the symbiosis between handcraft and technology, resolute in the Maker Chair. Composed of digitally fabricated 3-D parts that perfectly tesselate, the individual elements of the work are constructed by hand, like a puzzle, into a sweeping curve reminiscent of Verner Panton’s 1960’s injection-moulded chair. Democratically driven, the Maker Chair was specifically produced with the potential of small consumer 3-D printers and CNC milling machines in mind. Through this technology, the composite organic building blocks that form the chair can be made in an endless variety of materials and colors. Here it is seen formed from voronoi shapes executed in walnut. Joris Laarman lives and works in the Netherlands.

Meltdown Chair, Bronze #2 by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition
By Tom Price
Located in PARIS, FR
Meltdown Chair, Bronze #2 is a piece by English artist Tom Price, from the Meltdown Series. This chair is created using a ‘lost-plastic’ casting technique: a chair made from polypropylene tubes is encased in a thick ceramic shell and then melted out. The artist then pours molten bronze into the empty space that has formed and, once the metal has cooled and hardened, the ceramic shell is broken away. A work on the surface follows: the underside is left raw and patinated black while the seat is polished until it acquires a bright mirror finish. Every chair in the edition is unique because the ceramic mould must be broken to release the bronze, and therefore the entire process must be repeated for every new edition. 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...
