The Scarabé Chair A steel-frame chair
The scarabé is a steel-frame and leather chair. Its purpose is to embody the experiment of the limits of materials. The scarabé chair was inspired by a fascination for structures that express tension.
Purposely selecting leather to stabilize the four legs off the chair. By using leather belts I try to examine the material's limits of tension.
Expressing the tension inside wire-frame steel is a harder task than creating leather belts. By welding the tops and bottoms of the front legs separately I expressed in a objective way the release and stress that can also be found in human muscles.
The front legs are there for almost feeling like extensions of our own self reaching for a stable ground.
