REINVENTING MATERIALS:
The driving concept behind the
design of this matching set was
creating furniture pieces using
unconventional materials to
spark an extra sense of awe or
curiosity in the viewer. Through
personal interest in the sport of
tennis the decision was made
to mimic qualities and materiality
of a racket. These elements
include the hydraulic bending
and streamlining of the steel
frame and the threading of
kevlar racket string through the
drilled holes within the seat and
frame. The strength of the
kevlar string allows the seat to
suspend and hold apx. 200 lbs.
