Chairs








Came across these stacks of run-of-the-mill plastic chairs. Only on closer observation I realised how beautiful and economical the shape of the chair is - and how it is actually a single deformed surface that creates volume with its curves and folds. Then I also realised how the repetition and stacking of the shape creates beautiful textural forms.

Also made me think about how so many things are over-designed and tortured into form when sometimes the most amazing things are made when you just leave them the way they should be.
