MELTDOWN CHAIR: FLEECE       

Part of a series commissioned by Arts Co for the exhibition, 'From Now to Eternity', Meltdown Chair: Fleece is made exclusively from discarded polyester fleece clothing.

The seat area is created by placing layers of polyester clothing onto a hot steel seat-shaped former. As it heats, the fabric begins to melt, exposing and integrating colours and patterns of the various layers. When cooled the surface is transformed into a rigid, shiny, colourful display of dissolved pattern and colour.

Materials: Discarded polyester fleece
Approximate dimensions: H: 700 mm  -  W: 950 mm  -  D: 950 mm
Year: 2008
