Playing with Plastic

A project driven by the exploration of a material. I discovered that this reformed plastic had incredible steam bending qualities which allowed for the design to mirror the contours of the relaxed body position. The construction consists of six identical pieces, two of which are reversed to create armrests as well as to provide structure. Accessible means of manufacture as well as the potential for tessellation in packaging proves promising. A design in its earliest form, requires development and sensitive handling of this versatile material. (http://www.ecoplastic.net/)
