MELTDOWN SWING: PP ROPE BLUE      

Meltdown Swing: PP Rope Blue is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball of polypropylene rope. The rope begins to liquefy as it comes into contact with the heated former and, as it cools, it sets in the shape of a seat creating a contrast in form and texture to the remaining rope. No additional material has been added to make the seat - it is all made from melted rope.

This forms part of a series of chairs created using the same technique with different materials.

Materials: Polypropylene rope
Approximate dimensions: H: Variable  -  W: 950 mm  -  D: 950 mm
Year: 2009
