About Chloe Cathair

'S e cathair-ghàirdeanan a th' ann an Chloe anns a bheil a loidhnichean dìreach a' seasamh a-mach, le bhith a' cluich le ceàrnan a' coileanadh an dealbhaidh mhionaich chumhachdaich seo a tha a' buadhachadh air Minimal Studio. B' e a' phrìomh bhrosnachadh an fheum air pìos mòr a chruthachadh a dhùisgadh na faireachdainnean bunaiteach de chothromachadh agus "gu bhith a' briseadh" aig an aon àm. Tha bun-bheachd a' phròiseict seo stèidhichte air a gheomatras caol. Tha an fhrèam aige air a dhèanamh de dàrach Frangach dathte, a' cruthachadh structar geomatrach a ghabhas aithneachadh le ealaineachd choitcheann agus bun-bheachd a' bhranda.

Design Challenge: The combination between the angles, unions and material resistances during the production tests, became the major challenge in order to achieve a big and aesthetic piece as we present.
