EPISODE : CHAISE

EPISODE TOYS WITH THE TENSION BETWEEN THE MACHINE MOLDED AND THE HAND-MADE, DRAWING A NEBULOUS LINE BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE FUTURE. WHILE SEEMINGLY MODERN AND WARMLY MINIMAL IN EXECUTION, THE SERIES OF CHAIRS AND CHAISE REFERENCE REDUCTIVE, CLASSICALLY FAMILIAR LINES. THE SERIES INDULGES A PLAYFULLY ROBOTIC SIDE, WITH ALUMINUM ARMATURES SUPPORTING UPHOLSTERY IN LEATHER OR SUEDE AND BUTTON DEPRESSIONS THAT ANIMATE EACH PIECE. THE NEGATIVE SPACE, LIKE A SUBTLE MEMORY, IS A FEAT OF PRECISE EXPERTISE THAT MIMICS THE PERFECTION OF THE MACHINE MADE VIA THE HUMAN HAND.
