Pink Resin Chair by Louis Jobst, 2016

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

The Pink Resin Chair was inspired by the 'Cross-Easy-Chair' by Pierre Jeanneret originally made from teak and cane work. Designed in India for the building Chandigarh in 1955. A collection of chairs were designed with the use of basic tools available; forming a robust and simple design style.

The Pink Resin-Chair uses a similar double 'X' geometry as the Cross-Easy-Chair. The type of joints and construction have shifted fore-mostly due to using pink resin for the seat and secondly large mitres on the armrest give it a slightly more angular, contemporary effect. The contrast of material, texture and colour bring a new dimension to the chair.

The pink resin is cast by hand and holds many irregularities due to the chemical reaction caused when mixing the resin. These irregularities are intentional, making beautiful shapes, cracks and bubbles in the surface of the resin.
