High Distance Lounge
Weight - TBD
Plywood, Foam, Fabric
The work proposes a recognizable object — a chair — transformed into a device of perception. Although it retains the appearance of clear functionality, its proportions, height, and placement within an open space remove it from the domestic register and convert it into a constructed situation.
The piece calls for the activation of the body. Accessing the seated position requires a deliberate gesture, and maintaining balance introduces a subtle physical tension. In this sense, the chair no longer functions solely as a utilitarian object, but as a mechanism that produces a shift in perspective — both literal and symbolic. The body is elevated above its usual line of sight, and the relationship between individual, space, and landscape is reconfigured.
