POWDER HORSE
Chair. 1991. One-off.
Part of a research into the relation between the two- and threedimensional, and concave and convex forms. The deceptively heavy and extremely lightweight chair consists of a welded and polished aluminium sheet of only 3 mm thick, and is totally empty at the inside. Its skin is also its structure, and gets is strength from the interplay of curves. The final result also demonstrates Venlet�s already early concern to go far beyond the pure functional, in giving his furniture a sculptural quality.
