This is "Lapis Lazuli", a lounge chair made to play with the viewers expectations: What initially appears to be hard, rough, not exactly comfortable and inviting, shows the contradiction when sitting down. Because after all, the chair, which looks like stone, is actually made entirely of soft foam, coated in a special process to make it dirt and water repellent.
The Lounge Chairs are made from one big foam block. By ripping it carefully into two pieces, the base and the backrest are created. The interaction between chance and intention that lies in the process of tearing the big foam blocks, creates the beautiful stone like texture that gives each Chair its very individual character.

The Lounge Chairs are made from one big foam block. By ripping it carefully into two pieces, the base and the backrest are created. The interaction between chance and intention that lies in the process of tearing the big foam blocks, creates the beautiful stone like texture that gives each Chair its very individual character. The two pieces are then rejoined to create the silhouette of the chair and are finished with a highly flexible coating that wraps around the whole chair.
