Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden - 2008

Fascinated with the idea of bundling fibrous geometries and the use of thin material, this chair explores the bundling of 1/8” steel rod into support for the seat. The intent of the design was to evoke a playful spirit by powder-coating it baby blue and exaggerating the chair’s ergonomics by slightly raising the height of the seat. The chair has an intentional deep seat so an adult can swing their legs as they would a child in a regular size seat.

Matt fabricated the entire chair personally welding and hand bending the metal with a custom jig. Powder-coating was outsourced.
