Parametric Design furniture

Michaela Crie Stone lives and works in Rockport, Maine, where she creates pieces that push the parameters of function by blurring the lines between art, craft, and design.
A soft and open mesh fabric turns into a spacious chair by a synthesis of constructive folding and hardening. Inspired by the carpet production process, Studio Samira Boon designed the chair based on the same principles: two pieces of fabric are partly interwoven and partly separated.
Folding the fabric turns the two-dimensional cloth into a three-dimensional object. The chair derives its strength from both the double fabric and the curves: hardening 3-dimensional fabrics by means of resins gives them constructive qualities.
This Dry Tech 3 project was carried out by Studio Samira Boon in collaboration with the TU Delft Aerospace faculty, Droog Design and Next architects.
