Drawing from man’s input in evolutionary change over time, the seating collection includes five permutations of the same archetypal seat, altered according to principles of genetic selection.
Unable to start with a blank canvas, nature must work with what already exists to create improved variants in what is a constant development process. The application of this fluid method to 'domestic selections' enables a never-ending variety of forms, colors, and materials to be used, a working platform that continues to expand. Unconstrained by time, the collection is never quite complete, instead a perpetual work in progress.
In collaboration with Nick RossUntitled #1 –Coated in grey rubber
Untitled #2 –Dyed with layer upon layer of dark blue dye to create an almost black finish
Untitled #3 – Sanded and coated lightly in Carnauba wax
Untitled #4 – Upholstered in Bute fabric
Untitled #5 – Carved and dyed white
