Furniture Design - Acrylic Chair
Digital Fabrication - 2021
A chair study that builds volume through accumulation rather than mass. Repeated acrylic contour profiles — laser-cut and stacked — trace the chair's silhouette while allowing transparency to expose the internal layering.
Fluorescent inserts shift the reading of the object depending on light and angle. Depending on angle and light, the object appears alternately crisp, luminous, and partially dissolved — turning a simple small-scale study into an exploration of perception as well as form.
Transparency exposed the internal layering rather than concealing it, making fabrication part of the visual language of the object. The final object is not carved from a solid volume; it is assembled from discrete profiles whose alignment creates the chair's overall body.
