About Existence Kiti

Existence ni kiti kilichobuniwa kwa ajili ya kutafakari. Kiti hiki kinachukuliwa kama kipande cha usanifu kinachobainisha ukingo na kuacha nafasi kwa akili kujaza. Michoro miwili ya awali (prototypes) imetengenezwa kwa chuma cha pua (stainless steel). Kukaa juu ya Existence kunahitaji umakini na nguvu za misuli, hivyo kiti hiki kinapunguza starehe ya kimwili ili kuiacha akili huru. Kila kiti kina vipimo vya milimita 1000 kwa upana, milimita 800 kwa kina na milimita 600 kwa urefu. Michoro ya awali iliundwa kwa mikono, na mbinu tofauti zilirekebishwa ili kufikia usahihi kamili.
