About Existence Cadira

Existence és una cadira dissenyada per pensar. La cadira es tracta com una peça d'arquitectura que defineix una vora i deixa espai perquè la ment l'ompli. S'han fabricat dos prototips en acer inoxidable. Seure a Existence requereix atenció i esforç muscular, de manera que la cadira limita la comoditat física per alliberar la ment. Cada cadira fa 1000 mm d'amplada, 800 mm de profunditat i 600 mm d'alçada. Els prototips es van modelar a mà, i es van ajustar diferents tècniques per assolir una precisió exacta.
