Sol LeWitt Chairs:

Inspired by Sol LeWitt’s conceptual art of orthogonal linear geometry, these chairs synthesize successive combinations of horizontal and vertical lines in multiple configurations. The sculpted backrests on the chairs are designed to provide an ergonomic support while the notched geometry allows the two chairs to interlock in multiple configurations. The series of horizontal and vertical profiles overlap producing new patterns in each configuration, in homage to the wall drawings of Sol LeWitt.

 

Constructed from CNC cut plywood profiles, they can be mass produced while allowing them to be flat packed and shipped before assembly. The friction joint design allows the chairs to be built without mechanical fasteners. The current chairs are a prototype in the iterative design process working towards a model to be produced for the public.

Production of the Sol LeWitt Chairs was a very labour intensive and demanding project. Construction consumed almost an entire week of work for the two of us. As these chairs are a step in the design process, they represent a series of ideas that have transformed over multiple iterations. The ideas developed over many mistakes and sleepless nights.

As I now have found time to finally post something, I thought I would begin by displaying art that has inspired my recent work. The work of contemporary artist Sol LeWitt seemed the perfect place to start. Although he passed away in 2007, his artwork is still produced as he pioneered conceptual pieces defined by a set of scripted rules and executed by his apprentices. I have passed his work, Wall Drawing# 1100 Concentric bands (2003), twice recently in my trips in and out of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. Thirty-nine meters in circumference it greets those entering and leaving the country.

He described his contemporary coat of arms as being “A square is divided horizontally and vertically into four equal parts, each with lines in four directions superimposed progressively.” This idea of progressive iteration is an inspirational idea for generating new forms.

1. Is water sexy?
2. Water is sexy.
3. Water is sexy. Its the purity of it, the transparency, the passivity, the aggression of it.
4. Water is sexy; the sensuality of it teases me when I’m near it.
5. Water is sexy. (I want to be near it, to be in it, to move through it, to be under it. I want it in me)
