About Water Ripples Krēsls
Darba pamatā ir ūdens viļņi, un tas dabas ainu pārvērš par interaktīvu šūpuļkrēslu, kas ļauj sēdēt vai apgulties uz krēsla tā, it kā ķermenis bezrūpīgi šūpojas līdzi ūdens viļņošanās kustībām. Tam raksturīga ūdens viļņošanās plūstošā tekstūra. Neatkarīgi no telpām vai ārā, īpaši tur, kur ir gaisma, tā ūdens viļņi parādīs dabisko gaismu un ēnu caur zemi. Tā ir kā viļņojoša skulptūra ar māksliniecisku koncepciju, kad tā atrodas miera stāvoklī; tomēr, kad notiek mijiedarbība, tā kļūst par aizraujošu mēbeli.
