Using air as a building material we have created a breathing body that allows us to experience life and disintegration towards unconsious chalking and reconstruction of spatial being.
The chair's body inflates and deflates, embodying air.
ChAir integrates 'air' as a material within its anthropomorphic design, evoking a floating landscape that invites us to breathe in life. Over time, the Red Wood disintegrates into red pigments upon touch - liberating itself from its own body ; urging us to embrace growth and the passage of time as we chalk new realms.
