maezm: bone x skin

maezm: bone x skin


the 'bone' and the 'skin'


korean studio maezm (shin taiho) has designed 'bone x skin', a chair constructed from a lightweight wooden frame and solid
carbon fiber. the shape of the chair is made from simple lines set as a structural bone supporting an epidermis - the carbon fiber.
the concept of 'bone and skin' is deduced from its combination of materials and forms.

gallery window display


the chair was exhibited during tokyo designers week 2010 and at one-gallery exhibition in seoul, korea.



gallery window display (detail)

last year, maezm participated in the 2009 designboom mart in tokyo.
it is always good to see that it works as a first presentation, before designers invest in a personal show.

I still don't get it why people keep making furniture out of carbon fiber, a such expensive and high performance material. What a waste...by the way, I like how this chair looks.
