Description

The work of Architect and theorist Greg Lynn is closely concerned with the new innovations that computer-based design and manufacturing methods bring to architecture and design. Ravioli is a comfortable seat for everyday use, its form is the result of a largely automatic design process. By means of the opportunities afforded by computer simulation, a square surface is blown up in three dimensions into a spatial shape that can support any number of uses, offering a rest, a seat, armrests, and a backrest. Ravioli therefore constitutes a contemporary interpretation of classical upholstered furniture. A special design which Lynn again designed using a digitally controlled process, is available in 3 different colour combinations.
