‘bone chair’ can be viewed as the dissection of a chair. its starting form is a box-like seat made up of planes. as it evolves, sections of the chair are subtracted, cutting away all the ballast material leaving only a ‘skeleton’ form. it measures 54L x 57D x 79Hcm. the project team consisted of julien de smedt and wouter dons.
