Melting Chair 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...
