MELTDOWN CHAIR: CABLE TIE   

Meltdown Chair: Cable Tie is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a woven ball of approximately 10,000 black nylon cable ties. The ties begin to liquify as they come into contact with the heated former, then set in the shape of the seat as it cools, creating a contrast in form and texture to the remaining ties.

This is one of a limited edition of 12 and forms part of a series of chairs created using the same technique with different materials.

Materials: Nylon cable ties
Approximate dimensions: H: 600 mm  -  W: 900 mm  -  D: 900 mm
Year: 2008
