Concept original et décalé imaginé par la jeune étudiante en design Vivian Chiu, actuellement en train de terminer son BFA en Furniture Design à la Rhode Island School of Design, un petit clin d’oeil pour la très étonnante « Inception Chair », une chaise en bois dont la structure se compose de 10 cadres de chaise les uns plus petits que les autres qui s’emboitent les uns dans les autres pour ne faire qu’une. Proposant une impressionnante sensation de perspective fuyante ouvrant une porte vers une sorte d’introspection, découvrez tous les détails de cette superbe création en images dans la suite !

Description originale

Taking the chair archetype and placing within it chairs that are progressively smaller. Each chair has hand cut grooves on the inside edges of its seat frame as well as notches in the seat back. These grooves range from 1/2” wide to 1/8” wide. The mechanism works so that the pegs fit into the grooves of the chair one size bigger and slides into place so that the horizontal edge between the chair seat and back line up. The simple mechanism allows the chairs to be taken apart and put together with ease.

More about Vivian Chiu

Vivian Chiu is currently earning her BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Hong Kong, Vivian was constantly surrounded by a busy urban landscape and learned to appreciate simple forms and organic materials. An indivdual that likes to push herself mentally and physically, she believes in the value of hard work, a philosophy that drives many of her designs. Much of her work is a mixture of sculptural and functional, and shows her interest in the materiality of wood. Her work aims to satify her passion for repitive woodworking and visual flow. She draws inspiration from artists such as Martin Puryear, Anish Kapoor, Tom Friedman and Richard Sweeney. At any given time of the week, you can probably find her working on a project in the woodshop.
