Basic Chair, 2017.

A prototype of what we understand as a “chair” — an exploration through shape and reality. This study engages with the morphology, use, and function of the object, while also touching on its humanization and latent sensibility.

Influenced by Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology, the piece questions the role of objects beyond their utility — as entities that possess their own presence, withdrawn yet active.

This chair is less about sitting, and more about sensing. A material reflection on standardized shapes, intuitive gesture, and the irrational ways in which we relate to the things around us.

Basic Chair, showcased during Paris Design Week 2024 at the Boon Room Gallery in Paris. Exhibited alongside stunning works by A-N-D Lights, Dining Table by Rebecca Ackaert, and Sculpture by Léa Munsch.
