PLANAR CHAIR
This project is an experiment to reduce a chair to its few essential planes according to their geometry, function and use. While the planes are expressed as simple rectangles, their orientation in space registers the non-Cartesian angles of the human body at rest. The planes intersect equally, so that no plane dominates the others. This intersection of planes, isolated from their infinite projections, illustrates the geometric event.
The Planar Chair is fabricated in plywood using advanced digital tools. Deceptively simple, each chair locks together without glue or fasteners, like a wooden puzzle.
