The Chair of Textures is made from stainless steel. The beautifully intricate details are made using a laser cutter. This is an example of what you can achieve with modern technology. All the shapes of first drawn on a computer. After that, the laser cutter cuts the shapes into the sheet material. If you look carefully, you can see that the chair is constructed from three layers of stainless steel sheeting. The chair features all kinds of details. The legs are enveloped in flames. The front legs feature a flower pattern and a heart and butterflies are incorporated into the back of the chair. What makes this chair unique is that the Tjep designers have not allowed themselves to be restricted by the traditional chair shape. The planes and butterflies interweave outside the traditional chair boundaries. The Chair of Textures is being sold by Droog design.
