Petal chair



This work features an intimate and intricate symmetrical design of "petals" cut from a single piece of pipe; the minimalist approach of bare metal is transformed in this concept into a beautiful "Kiku" chrysanthemum flower-shaped chair. This beautifully proportioned chair is composed of only two metal components in a design that combines both simplicity and intricacy at the same time: one pipe is cut into 96 slits or ribs for the sitting portion, while the support section is composed of twin legs. Simultaneously "sharp" and "elegant," this design invokes both the industrial and the aesthetic.
