Dezeen in Israel: this chair by designer Ezri Tarazi is formed when a concrete-filled mannequin is dropped onto it from above.
Named Free Falling, the chair is made from perforated metal, which is initially assembled into a solid prism.
The female mannequin is then pressed into the prism’s surface to create a subtly different shape each time.
You can see more design from Israel in our special feature.
Here's a very short description from Tarazi:
Free Falling
Free Falling is done by transforming a trapezoidal box made from a perforated metal sheets into a chair by the fall of a female mannequin filled with concrete.
Design: Ezri Tarazi
Design Assistance: Guy Mishaly and Guy Ben Adon
You just *know* this guy used to steal his little sis Barbies when he was making his paper models ;)
Amazing work…reminds me of a house I designed by hurling a bunch of 2×4's off the side of a hill.
just too bad no human bum will ever fit in the dent
Where is my comment guys?
P.S.: is there a censure now at Dezeen? Because for the 3rd time I send comments on several topics, sometimes it's published and sometimes it's invisible which is often the case now… I will report this on Facebook and Twitter it might draw some attention, (unless I'm wrong!).
