Redefining stability as mutual dependency, the work relies on asymmetry to achieve balance. The form dictates a relational condition where two distinct bodies must lean on one another, translating human reliance into structural logic.
From Gesture to Object
Deriving form from the everyday posture of leaning, the chair replaces passive stability with active counterbalance.
Two distinct backs tilt toward one another, creating a system where neither side is structurally complete alone.
Through this gesture, balance emerges not as an individual attribute but as a shared condition.
Asymmetry and Material Dialogue
Asymmetry defines the composition: one side resolves as slender legs, the other as a planar mass.
Constructed in White Oak and Cherry, the paired materials suggest two distinct entities held together through difference.
A simple structural necessity becomes a quiet expression of companionship, translating human reliance into form.
