Marc Newson's 'Wood' chair, 1988
My example of the ‘continuing curve’ is the ‘Wood’ chair created by Marc Newson. It is literally a continuing curve in its design with the one sweeping movement to create the form. This chair looks either comfortable or painful to sit on, I can’t quite decide based on it being made of many pieces of wood which will either dig in or work together to support the sitter. I think this chair has been created as a result of the “sensuous impulse” because when I look at it I see it was created for art and not functionality. Marc Newson did not create this chair to be a chair but more for the visual impact of a chair’s that is formed with one sweeping movement of wood.
A true ‘continuing curve’ chair.
