'S Chair', Contemporary Abstract Wooden Chair by Tom Vaughan

About the Item

'S Chair', Contemporary Abstract Wooden Chair by Tom Vaughan English, 21st Century Contemporary Design Height 76.5cm, width 59cm, depth 54.5cm This beautiful piece of contemporary design is an 'S chair' - an early work by the London based furniture maker Tom Vaughan, and represents one of his first studies into flow and movement. Combining traditional woodworking techniques with exceptionally elegant, innovative free-flowing modern curves and forms, Vaughan has created an exceptionally accomplished and aesthetically pleasing piece of contemporary furniture, wherein the very essence and beauty of two-dimensional calligraphy or paint strokes seems to have found form in three dimensions, freely flowing with neither start point nor end. Vaughan was trained in traditional cabinet making and carpentry at the London College of Furniture, and found his passion in combining these skills with modern and digital design techniques, which enabled him to create daring and highly original designs that combine the elegance and beauty of traditional carpentry with the minimalism, economy of material, and sophistication of contemporary styles. Inspired by the likes of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, its smooth tactile quality and beautiful flowing form of this piece embody and encapsulate its essential nature as a functional sculpture, and its status as a contemporary interior design piece like no other. The s-chair is available in each of the following materials: American black walnut, European oak and American white ash. The piece shown here is executed in stained Ash, with the full range of tones with differing stains of the chair in Ash shown in the last two photographs.

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...

Meltdown Chair, White Rope by Tom Price, Contemporary, Limited Edition
By Tom Price
Located in PARIS, FR
'Meltdown Chair, White Rope' is a piece by English artist Tom Price, from the Meltdown Series. This chair is made entirely from polypropylene rope, no other material is added. The artist starts its creation by rolling up the rope around a ball – which is later removed, and then he presses a part of the rope ball on a heated metal seat-shaper former. The rope melts and, when it cools and subsequently hardens, the shape of the seat is created. Tom Price thus alters the structural and aesthetic qualities of the plastic material, giving rise to interesting contrasts in texture and form within the same object. 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).
