Outdoor Stacking Eames Lounge |
|
How would you like to have an outdoor version of your Eames lounge or Barcelona chair sitting out back or along side the pool. Dirk Winkel for his 2007 University of Arts Berlin final design project “A Stacking Hommage" might have brought you a little closer to that fanatasy.
From his site:
"Three idols of design history were realised as a low-price, stackable plastic chair, including all
requirements like material, production and stackability as an important determinant.
The concept was to transform the original idol’s messages: the plastic
chairs lose the message of financial power and wealth, they keep their design
message and their grace and they gain a message of moral integrity by liberalising
their archetypes from their stiff aura, like an ironic twist - and they fulfill an
important intention of the bauhaus: to make their designs available for everyone."
