The "Isolation Chair" hashtag has gone viral. If you've not heard of it, it resembles a first-year Industrial Design school assignment: Grab some random materials and quickly assemble them into the likeness of a chair.
It started because during the social lockdown, Barcelona-based furniture designer Max Enrich wanted to do what many designers do: Make something. "I wanted to build something, and I thought about starting with a chair, but I couldn't find even a wood strip or rod, or a bit of clay around," he told Sight Unseen. "And then I realized you can represent…the idea of a chair with almost anything."
The sheer creativity on display is incredible. Check them all out here.
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
