ChAir


Size : 2 feet x 6 feet x 18 inches

Medium : Wood, Copper joints, Polyethylene sheets, Scented and temperature Fabric, Air


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.

unown is a transdisciplinary design practice working at the intersection of architecture, performance art and philosophical inquiries. We craft environments focusing on sociocultural, ecological and multisensory approaches to foster collective empathy and equitable futures. Through our designs, we create metaphysical spaces to inhabit different frameworks of time by transcending the body toward an undivided space embodying limitless possibilities and new ways of being.
