About the Item

Spoon Chair by Philipp Aduatz Limited Edition of 12 Dimensions: D 126 x W 52 x H 120 cm Materials: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer, car paint. The main idea behind Philipp Aduatz’s Spoon Chair is to bring the beauty of a bent-back leaf into an object by modifying the principle of the cantilever: here the lever, instead of reaching horizontally, extends upward in one direction. It then loops around over the top, back towards the center, to support its own and a person’s weight. In the Spoon Chair, Aduatz combines design with ergonomics through modern fabrication technology such as computer numeric control (CNC) milling and rapid prototyping. The development of the Spoon Chair was an extensive process. Beginning with a sketch, Aduatz created a 3D model and fabricated a first polystyrene prototype through CNC milling. This initial model was manually reshaped until it fulfilled the most basic requirements of seating comfort. Then the original CAD-data was updated with a 3D scan of the reshaped model to obtain an improved digital version of the Spoon Chair. The procedure of milling, reshaping, and digital updating was repeated to the point of optimal seating comfort. Quite a few life-size as well as some scaled-down models were necessary to achieve the best result. The moulds for the production of the final Spoon Chair were created with CAD-data and CNC milling technology as well. Carbon fibers are materials used in motorsports and aerospace applications. They show a very high strength, durability, and stiffness along with an extremely low weight. The Spoon Chair could only be crafted with the support of a high-tech material such as a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. The name of the object is connected to the design process in a special way: most people who glimpsed the early prototypes quickly associated them with a spoon - and the name stuck. This creative naming process correlates well with Aduatz’s concept of art, that every person should have the opportunity to see in his work whatever she or he wants. 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.
