Pablo Limón “Silver Nitrates” Stool - Prototype #3

About the Item

Extremely light yet strong, foam-based stool prototype by Spanish designer Pablo Limón. These pieces are hand-formed and chromed using an intricate process of layering and sanding layers of silver nitrate to create their multicolored and uniquely detailed surfaces. This example is titled “Silver Nitrates - Prototype #3”. PABLO LIMON is an architect, industrial designer, and furniture designer based in Mexico City, Spain, and New York City. Limón runs his own design studio, PLDO, and is also partner and architecture director at Savvy Studio, which has offices in New York City and Mexico City. This series of his furniture pieces are the result of experiments with metallic coatings, applied to medium-density foam bases shaped into simple stools and side tables. Several layers of pigmented Silver Nitrate are carefully poured by hand and then sanded to reveal a unique and intricate chrome surface. Limón's work has been featured in Sight Unseen, Dezeen, Design Milk, and more.
