CASSINA-IXC.
There are many kinds of design chairs in the world. But there are not so many chairs in the world only to be used as an exterior chair, aren't there?
The exterior chair is different from the interior chair, for example how to use it and its durability. It has a different theme. For this competition, we want recruit ideas for exterior chairs widely. The work that is winning the Grand Prix award examination will become a product of INTER-DECOR.

 


 
Excellent Work Award
Name of work: MOLD
Manufacturer:Millimeter
(Hidenori Kasagi&Akiko Miyaguchi)
Evaluation by ALBERTO MEDA
A "naive" idea which remembers to me the pleasure of the boy's sand constructions at the beach, but how to make it solid and practical enough with only moisture as bonding element ?

2) Impressions by the prize winners and comments on their work

I am very glad, and I really want to realize it.

I designed a frame made of FRP, to make a chair
made of clay. I want to try out not only clay or sand but also other materials,for example ice and gel.

I think this design is still to be studied. But I thank to the judge, Mr. Meda, who looks up for possibilities of it.
