TITLE | A Piece of Paradox

This chair was created to offer enough strength for someone to sit securely, while aiming for a delicate and beautiful presence.
It is connected through 17 welded points, each of which plays an essential role in supporting the structure.
The black finish highlights its distinctive silhouette, reminiscent of a ship's sail.
By intentionally incorporating L-angle steel, which is originally used to reinforce reinforced-concrete structures, the design steps slightly away from the conventional idea of a chair, giving it a subtly humorous character.
