Description
Thomas Heatherwick has produced a startling twist on conventional furniture design: a functional chair formed from a single profile rotated through 360 degrees. Aptly titled Spun, it transforms the domestic seat into a beautifully rendered spinning top. The appeal was to create a design using rotational symmetry while asking the simple question - could a functional chair be formed from a single profile rotated through 360 degrees. Spun displays Heatherwick's flair for challenging rules and teasingly plays with the notion of a static piece of sculpture becoming a playful piece of design. When upright Spun is a sculptural vessel and it is only when it is lent on its side that the playful possibilities of its form come to light, Spun allows the sitter to swivel in a circular rocking motion, including being able to rotate in a complete circle.
