Original design fireside chair Gropius

fabricwoodenhandmade

Design is a method of solving specific problems; it is primarily about function, which is followed by a clear aesthetic form. Design finds its place in war, for example, in the creation of camouflage nets. The mesh with which the Gropius chair is upholstered has more than 4,000 knots and is woven in an original technique developed by volunteers from the Vinnytsia VinnSolard Center. Our installation is a manifesto - an attempt to draw attention to the fact that the war is not over, the war continues. Combining the chair’s form that was developed in peacetime with a camouflage net from wartime, we aimed to convey our feelings. For every Ukrainian, the world, regardless of his age and profession, is divided into "Before" and "After", and design has acquired new meanings and functions. Designers: Kateryna Sokolova in collaboration with Nataliya Bakulina & Antonina Latayko Materials: wood, plywood, foam rubber, injection-molded soft foam, textile HANDCRAFTED The net with which the Gropius chair has been upholstered was woven in the original technique, developed by volunteers from the VinnSolard Center, located in Vinnytsia.
