Chair, from Scrap Poly Pastel series
This is a chair. It was designed by Max Lamb.
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Max Lamb as part of Beauty—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial.
Inspired by natural elements, Lamb explores the process of furniture making by using raw materials and experimental techniques, resulting in a rough and tactile quality. To fabricate his Scrap Poly Pastel chair, Lamb carved a chair from polystyrene offcuts and then coated them in rubber to stabilize the waste material.
It is credited Courtesy of Max Lamb.
