My design’s aim is to update forgotten morphology of this chair to the present. I intend to create design for contemporary technology and materials without losing the past heritage in it. The original chair was a part of a common home; wooden backs used to be decorated by stylized floral carvings or paintings. My design consists of two functional pieces: a fully plastic seat and steel-tube legs. In this case skeletal construction of the seat becomes the ornament while original shape still remains.

'Floating dreams'. By suspending the bed from the ceiling, it allows us to feel a floating sensation. The gentle rocking encourages us to slumber as if rocking in a cradle as we did during our younger days. The redness of the bed represents the undying sun. With the sun behind us as we sleep, promises everlasting warmth and security, telling us not to worry as we let go. Just stepping onto the bed, and leaving the world and all its troubles behind. As if we left the world to another place.

The Visceral Void is a 'front loading' chaise lounge with a mixed typology of a bathtub and a water slide. It is the result of a study of the relationship between the human body and void spaces. The design works on the 3 variables of the outline of the body's resting profile, 2 perimeter frames and a skin stretching across it. These are configured to create a series of different mutations of furniture type.

Product: Visceral Void

Description: Chaise Lounge
Material: Fibre Glass
Colour: Blood Red
Year: 2005
Dimension: W780 x D1720 x H750

The pieces of furniture are the main characters in this Tableau Vivant. A small change on the convention of chairs has granted them a life. This change consists mainly of removing the rear legs of the chairs and sometimes the addition of feet. The chairs become dependent on each other and their environment, with which they interact and exist in numerous ways, creating all sorts of different situations.

Two forms, cut out of one metal sheet, bent for to penetrate each other and to create a dynamics, a visual lightness. The triangulate form of the carapace provides the object with resistance. Depending on the angle the shelf takes on a different shape: the side is rather more wired, while the front of the shelf has more volume.
