 BECK' S PRIZE design a key and what it opens --- title: corn relief # : 222 michael fung from australia  designer's own words: The “key” to a good chair is a good backrest. As a child growing up in a low income family, canned food …… actually any food was a luxury…… . . . ... except the salty, rubbery and fatty tinned ham or corned beef that was served, as we sat at the dinner, table every week. The concept of this chair was inspired by the thought that the tinned meat could be put to better use than to be consumed. It could be used as a seat. This chair shell is consists 2 acrylic extrusions and the seat of high-density foam resting on a cast acrylic base. The key-shaped bent recycled aluminium tube backrest “locks” the shells together. --- back - back to the index page - ---  ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------
