The Design

About Existence Silla

Existence es una silla concebida para pensar. La silla se aborda como una pieza de arquitectura que define un borde y deja un espacio para que la mente lo complete. Se han realizado dos prototipos en acero inoxidable. Sentarse en Existence exige atención y esfuerzo muscular, de modo que la silla limita el confort físico para liberar la mente. Cada silla mide 1000 mm de ancho, 800 mm de profundidad y 600 mm de altura. Los prototipos fueron modelados a mano, y se ajustaron distintas técnicas para alcanzar una precisión exacta.
