Gaziibo
Like its sister chair, 'Gazebo', it incorporates a soft linen seat with two oversized panels fabricated
out of dark walnut, framing a pattern of chartreuse colored holes. The study of patterns begins
with a uniform grid of circles that is digitally manipulated, morphing the size and shapes of the
circles, so that a 2D surface begins to attain a 3D quality. The resulting visual effect is the weight
of a body sitting and the reacting forces left as impressions on the oversized panels, thus giving
the chair a dynamic living quality to it. The Gaziibo combines the nostalgic idea of a leisure chair
and material, with an exploration of spatial effects that can be achieved with contemporary
techniques.
