Perfect Chair

Bone furniture by Joris Laarman

“In short I found a way evolution constructs quite precisely. Not to create the worlds most perfect chair but I used it as a tool to create beautiful elegant shape with a kind of legitimacy. Around a year ago I got in contact with a german professor that studied the growth of trees and bones for many years; their failure in particular. You might know bones are extremely efficient since they are able to add material where strength it is needed. But bones also have the ability to take away material where it is not needed. Now this professor and the International Development Center Adam Opel GmbH, a part of general motors engineering Europe created a digital tool to copy these ways of constructing in a dynamic digital tool. I used it as a high tech sculpting tool. The irony of the result is that an almost historic elegancy comes out far more efficient compared to modern geometric shapes. I am working on a body of work.”

The Playfully Geometric Work

The geometric table

Cebu is the creative craftsman city of the Philippines and is one of the most renowned furniture exporters of Southeast Asia. Local designers have successfully improvised around the region’s lack of rattan (the predominant wood used in traditional furniture) with freestyle experimentation of other indigenous natural materials. The playfully geometric work of up-and-comer Vito Selma (pictured) and the always influential eccentricities of Debbie Palao show how Cebu is living up to its “Milan of Asia” reputation.
