One Sheet - 2002

Inspired by the contested origin of the cantilever chair, from the Tatra Type 12 car seat and Mart Stam’s gas-pipe prototype to the tubular refinements of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, and Marcel Breuer, and later the sculptural continuity of Verner Panton’s Panton Chair, this chair translates that lineage into a rhythmic wooden form of suspension, repetition, and shadow, shaped from a 120cm x 120cm sheet of Baltic birch plywood as a deliberate study in material economy, constraint, and structural expression.
