Rising Chair by Robert van Embricqs

from the designer:

‘the foundation of any chair is the flat surface you’ll eventually sit down on. using this notion as a starting point, I made several cuts in the flat surface and pulled up the different beam-like strands of cut the surface. this created the preliminary but already distinct features of any chair: back, seat and legs. the rhythm of the wooden beams gives the chair an organic shape. the cuts are most visible when the chair is still down. however at that stage of the construction, I still didn’t know what shape the chair would take in the end. this was determined by the various arches of the wooden beams the chair is made up of. as a creator, I felt a special connection to the material I was working with. molding the chair into its definitive form, it felt like a special, hard to define partnership between myself and the material.

In a sense, the usage of water is comparable to like a ritual practice in using it as liquid to transform and change hair from form and colour of hair. With the client in mind, the use of water in this case is represented as a transforming aspect as well as purification aspect in his business.

Water in this sense can be defined as a substance that acts a mover, a transformer, and a carrier.
