What About Chair?

Throughout the process, materials were not only reused, but also allowed to guide the design direction. Rather than being treated as neutral elements, the found objects imposed constraints and offered possibilities that were intentionally embraced. The final forms emerged from a dialogue between the restrictions set by the materials and the designer’s personal vision, where improvisation and intentionality were held in balance.
Chair 1
Built from leftover wood fragments gathered in the workshop and a reclaimed plexiglass sheet sourced from a nearby hardware market, the chair finds its form through improvisation.
Its legs are made from a cement-filled PPC tube, wrapped in a coiled compressor pipe for both structure and texture. Short shovel handles were placed between the legs and secured with clamps, creating a bracing system that adds both stability and a subtle nod to tool-based construction.
Chair 2
It was assembled using scrap iron pieces sourced from a metal workshop. Existing parts were reconfigured and supplemented with minimal additions, resulting in a structure that emphasized material honesty and weight.
It was restored from a previously broken and torn piece using fiberglass, epoxy resin, and wood. Instead of being replaced, the original structure was preserved and reinforced, allowing its identity to be retained while its function was renewed.
