The Design
About Ryo Earmstoel
Ryo is in earmstoel foarme as ien trochrinnende foarm. De golvingen rinne fan it sit nei de rêch en foarmje in ûnûnderbrutsen lus. It ûntwerp begûn mei de fraach oft in gewoan meubelstik in frijere foarm oannimme koe. It komplekse trijedimensjonale oerflak wie dreech te produsearjen en waard realisearre troch it brûken fan rekbere stof. De earmstoel mjit 725 millimeter yn breedte, 730 millimeter yn djipte en 800 millimeter yn hichte. De bûgde skaal omslút de persoan dy't derop sit en jout in skulptuerlik elemint oan de romte.
