miniature chair competition

this is a competition held by Living Edge.


the brief:


" ... using only the given materials ( two sets of Chandon Sparkling corks, foil hoods and cages ) and glue, to design and construct your own unique miniature chair... "


check out the previous entries in the link above (there are some pretty incredible models)



... and here is my design ...

name of chair : the nest

artists's statement: 

the nest is inspired by an egg cocooned above the ground. 
its form and structure suggests integrity and safety. 
it is a hiding place, a retreat and a sanctuary. 
most of all, it is a place that makes one feel nested.




my initial proposal ... stacked on $7
