Exploring different materials with one production technique is a great way to generate a distinctive product range of which the Meltdown Chair by Tom Price is a great example. The characteristic seats are all made by heating and pressing a seat shaped shape in a ball of wrapped PVC hose, polypropylene rope, or an ordinary stack of plumbing tubes.
The working method or charred and brittle seat surfaces might be too barbaric for materials scientists but according to Tom still flexible and comfortable enough to sit on. The seats are part of a series, so we are looking forward to his next Meltdown.
