Graziano Chair

JULIAN MAYOR FRAME CHAIR

source: highlike

Work: The Graziano chair was inspired by computer generated wire-frame models, and by toughness coupled with fragility. Wire frame drawings express form though an economical use of marks, and with their own set of codes, they allow a viewer to look at the inside and outside of an object at the same time, and from many angles simultaneously.

Mayer’s Frame Chair works with the idea that technology can be a mediator between people. At the same time, the Frame Chair has a character of its own, highlighting form and formality as two of the key features of the design.
