The creation of a chair, an item of simplicity yet filled with many innovative possibilities, was a project that tested my design and hands-on creation potential. The topic I received was “repetition”, and the final product I’ve delivered was a chair made from steel but resembling the pattern and texture of soft pleats. The chair’s affinity with soft pleats created a repetition of rippling pattern around the chair which produced a calm and soft disposition. The soft nature, however, is contrasted sharply by the metallic materials used. The metals generated a stern, strong and even unyielding characteristics that, when juxtaposed against the repetitive and soft characteristics of the design, produced a piece of furniture that delivers a story of contrasting yet harmonizing ideas.
