The Ski Chair (2017)



The ski chair is inspired by two disciplines, downhill skiing and ski jumping.

Investigative drawing and sketching helped to create graphical abstractions of these activities.

The interaction of skis cutting through powdery snow intrigued me.
I was also interested in the ski jumpers' change in body posture and anticipation of the slope's cusp.









Springing out into a jump from tension to gain the furthest distance.
These contrasts inspired me to realize such through the materiality of the ski chair. It seemed obvious to me that I should combine wood, steel, and fabric into a finalized furniture product.
