Spare

T. For me it was a brief from Foundation 33 – resulting in the ‘Spair’. In response to the requirements of open plan living, the Spair is a flat packed chair that sits on the wall as a graphic or tableau. When needed, the lightweight piece can be taken down and unfolded into a spare chair. I felt this encompassed all aspects of my design process, thoroughly worked through to completion. But it was also coming to terms with my working method – that my objects develop through a series of experiments rather than sketches. Still to this day I’d much rather work through a 3D programme than in a sketch book.
