windsor 2.0
Windsor chair originates from High Wycombe, England, where I used to live and study furniture design. Windsor 2.0 represents this iconic piece of functional design but is re-interpreted as a sculptural object. My aim was to create a one-off product where traditions meet new technologies and boundaries between art and design are blurred.
The original Windsor chair was 3D scanned and digitally transformed and its rounded wooden form was distilled into hard angular metal. The folds make 0.9 mm mild steel sheet very strong and together with a shiny car paint they give the chair a jewel-like appearance with its facets reflecting the light so that its form changes slightly from every angle.
The chair has been exhibited at Herman Miller’s National Design Centre in London and at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. Also, it has been featured on an online design magazine Dezeen.
