WAVE CHAIR

The chair was developed as a design proposal for the pop-up cinema at Gillette Square in Dalston, London. Chairs of various shapes provide for different ways of seating and create wavy landscape on the square. The project gave us the opportunity to experiment with wood fabrication techniques. We learned about how bending properties of dry and soaked wood differ and how curvature of wood can be induced by lamination of multiple layers of plywood. We found out about structural capacities of wood and how they can be improved by different fabrication methods.
