Heat-Moulded Seating

Swiss Designer Markus Bangerter Melts His Designs Into Place

Swiss designer Markus Bangerter has created this chair by using heat as his creative tool of choice.

Although the chair looks like it’s made up of a series of felt pieces that could easily collapse with a light touch, the fragile-looking structure is as sturdy as can be. Markus Bangerter has used intensive heat to mould each piece into place. Having a chair like this in your home would definitely impress even the most artsy guests you have over.

It’s always refreshing to see a design as new and inventive as this, and Markus Bangerter promises to keep them coming.

Implications - Designs that dare to push the limits on creativity attract a larger amount of attention than those which simply focus on function. Taking risks and experimenting with styles could help an artist get their name out there.
