Awkwardly Supported Seats

The Silla Kandinsky Chair by Tresenvespa Appears Weirdly Warped

— November 9, 2012 — Art & Design
The legs of the Silla Kandinsky Chair appear to have been through a terrible ordeal. Awkwardly bent in different directions, an especially empathetic individual will not be able to suppress their flinch upon seeing it. Nevertheless, the Silla Kandinsky Chair was inspired by the abstract paintings of influential Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky.

Designed by Spanish studio Tresenvespa, which is based in Valencia, the Silla Kandinsky Chair may have a simple silhouette, but its structure is immediately eye-catching. In addition to its seemingly warped support, the unexpected use of only two legs will surprise many. Nevertheless, each leg extends on the ground to where the missing legs would be in order to provide the necessary balance to sit comfortably.
Trend Themes
1. Abstract Seating - There is an opportunity for designers to explore and experiment with abstract forms and shapes in seating to create unique and eye-catching designs.
2. Minimalist Structure - The use of minimalist structures like the Silla Kandinsky Chair's two-legged design creates disruption in the traditional seating industry by challenging norms and pushing the limits of what is possible.
3. Balance Innovation - By experimenting with new ways to provide balance and support in chairs and furniture, designers may be able to create new and innovative solutions to age-old design problems.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Furniture designers can benefit from exploring new design styles and disrupting traditional structures in order to create unique and interesting pieces like the Silla Kandinsky Chair.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can experiment with abstract shapes and minimalist structures to add a touch of uniqueness to any living space.
3. Artisanal Furniture - There is an opportunity for artisanal furniture makers to create bespoke chairs and seating that challenge design norms using unconventional materials and forms.
