I designed this lounge chair as my main final year piece.
Carabao Chair sitting in front of Lincoln Cathedral. Showing a clash of Gothic and Modernist styles.
Brief description: The Carabao chair is influenced by the furniture of pioneer Modern’s such as Alvar Aalto and Marcel Breuer. Function and innovation are key to the design; whilst still aiming to formulate a distinctive and iconic item of furniture. The lacquered seat panel and back rest are constructed of layers of laminated ply, shaped over a former in a bag press. The spiraling back rest allows spring for comfort and eases the user into a comfortable resting position. The contrasting frame is made from sustainably sourced English sycamore. Colour is used to form an impression of playfulness; and in the context of post war design, a sense of optimism and prosperity.
