About the Item

Lymphochair Chair by Taras Yoom Limited Edition of 50 Dimensions: D 62 x W 62 x H 80 cm Materials: Wood, metal, felt, PU. The chair consists of a deep white pinkish felt cover, silver or white metal rods and blue or brown straps. The back of a chair can be removed and the spherical chair legged seat remains. A soft filling is made of polyurethane foam. The upholstery is made of wool, which does not require unnecessary cleaning and perfectly keeps the heat in a cold room temperature, and gives it up on hot days. This unique project is part of the «micro world» collection. And it is an image of a biological cell with a clear interior application; the same spherical shape of a seat, as well as orthopedic balls is very ergonomic for human use (the seat). In general, there are a lot of positive qualities. Starting from the main aesthetic and ending with usability. From medical research, I found out how important it is for a person to understand how their body and immunity work. This contributes to the awareness of any existing problem and the understanding of things that subconsciously activate the immune system. And this chair is a small bridge from the general to the particular in understanding the most complex mechanism of the human body. Legend: Lymphochairs are warriors of the planet Orginion, its guards, akin to the regular army. They embody lymphocytes as the personification of the immune cell in a human body. At the very beginning, it is a chair that is still a dormant lymphocyte. Every time people sit on it, this simple action becomes hatching it like eggs. It turns out that a person must unassisted hatch his immune cell. After it wakes up and grows up from the warmth, it acquires battle skills, weapons, costumes. Afterwards it is allocated around the planet Orginion — each Lymphochair to a special place. If it ends up on Earth, then it will exist in houses of people who have obtained it and will gradually be hatched. Limphochair which has woken up on Earth becomes the defender of the person who hatched it and does his will. Zheltyshev Taras The artist/designer was born in the Siberian city of Tomsk in 1991. Parents, who were doctors and architects, influenced the choice of a future profession. In 2010, he entered the pediatric faculty of the Siberian Medical University. He had two passions at the university – biophysics and cartoon animation. Taras was engaged not only in laboratory part-time work, but also in an architectural bureau, creating interior items and art objects. In 2013, he took part and eventually won the Maleskin art competition, where he showed his illustrations. After that, art and passion for design began to conquer his soul. It gave him opportunity to constantly experiment and invent something new. So in 2014, while taking part in the international design competition A’ Design Award, he discovered new horizons in the design and in the same year, he showed projects in light fittings at Beijing Design Week 2014. His works were organic and functional. He was able to create natural images with a functionality. From this moment design, artistic activity and biophysics began to merge into a single unity. Taras created a multidisciplinary workshop where he studied many technologies and techniques for processing materials. Over time, his work blurred the boundary between visible reality and the hidden natural processes of organisms which he studied at a medical university. That led to prevalence of histological ornaments, molecular images and the living organisms’ colors and shapes in his works. Between 2014 and 2018, Taras won several design awards such as the A’ Design Award, Internetional Design Award, Skol Design Award and were featured at I Saloni in Milan and Salone Satelite in Moscow. Taras experimented on the visual functionality of an object that is able to change a person’s attitude to certain things. In 2019, he presented his works at the Collectible Fair in Brussels in the Young Designer category. After that he began to collaborate with two famous Moscow galleries of collectible design. At the same time, he starts cooperation with large factories for which he designed unique art collections of interior items. Again, in 2019, his works were shown in two galleries: Cosmoscow international exhibition of contemporary art in Moscow, and the collectible design exhibition Russian Antique & Art Fair. Since 2019, there have been many publications in magazines (Vogue, Elle decoration, Ad, Interior + Design, Interiors The Best, In / Ex, Forbes, DesignMet, The Rouge, Tatler) about an author who uses biological and natural knowledge with a personalisation approach in art design projects. Now Taras lives and works in Moscow in his workshop, where he constantly studies natural disciplines and creates objects with a soul. Taras declares: I create a person’s attitude to different processes and images. We are surrounded by countless details, complex systems that cannot be realized, but at the same time we live in harmony. I transmit a small part of the invisible world where organised molecules rule, they always strive for symmetry and do this through functional objects for human life. It is necessary to create contact, the exchange of information between complex systems and man, so that the latter can at least imagine them. When we get acquainted with a new device or image, we are getting knowledge about it, and this understanding alone can expand the boundaries in other areas of knowlegde.
