Impossible Wood

A moulded chair for Moroso that references the genre of light, graceful, bent wood frame chairs but would be impossible to make in any other way than by injection moulding. Doshi Levien were inspired by the work of Martin Puryear, an African American sculptor who made a piece called Cedar Lodge in 1977. This installation is constructed using thin, over lapping parallel strips of timber, bound together with horizontal rings.
