Wood Chair Chair
This is a chair. It was designed by Marc Newson and manufactured by Cappellini S.p.A.. It is dated 1988 and we acquired it in 2006. Its medium is beechwood, metal (screws). It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The delicate Wood chair, by noted industrial designer Marc Newson, is made from multiple long strands of beechwood and is unique in its construction. Each strip is bent back onto itself and affixed to a wooden base — there are no joints or right angles — to create a flowing, organic form. Originally created as a piece for an exhibition, the chair was put into production by the Italian design firm Capellini. Newson’s overall style is biomorphic; he designs in diverse and multiple fields, creating everything from furniture, to product design, aircraft design, and jewelry.
It is credited Museum purchase from General Acquisitions Endowment Fund.
