no 1 ( beige ) & no 2 ( light brown )

for his 2007 graduation project dutch designer chris bartels designed and made this series of furniture
inspired by the thin haute-couture models. titled ‘skinterior’, the series takes cues from the models,
focusing on the dominant clothing (upholstery), not the fragile body (plastic structure). the project
started with the textile mould and the plastic interior structure was a secondary concern. the results
are tiny almost clumsy shapes that are very strong despite their wispy appearance. bartels hopes
this will evolve in new ways in the future.
