The Idea of Chair

June 8th, 2005  |  Published in Project Ideas

These chairs are interesting to me, not because of their construction technique—sewn threads that create backs and seats—but because of how the sides/arms are a simple, non-descript square shape that is then defined by a pattern or line drawn on the side. You could essentially draw whatever chair profile you like on the side of this chair, melding their images together in a viewer’s mind. It would almost create an optical illusion, which profile (real or drawn) is the real chair?
