MELTDOWN CHAIR: PVC HOSE       

Meltdown Chair: PVC Hose  is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball of clear PVC hose. The hose begins to melt as it comes into contact with the heated former and, due to prolonged exposure to the heat it starts to burn. Once cooled the surface of the seat looks charred and brittle but is surprisingly flexible and comfortable to sit on.

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: PVC hose
Approximate dimensions: H: 700 mm  -  W: 950 mm  -  D: 950 mm
