Meltdown Chair

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on November 24, 2007 at 2:22 am


British artist Tom Price created these "meltdown chairs" out of polypropylene rope by heating and pressing a seat-shaped form into the material.

This chair is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball of polypropylene rope. The rope begins to liquify as it comes into contact with the heated former and, as it cools, it sets
in the shape of a seat creating a contrast in form and texture to the remaining rope. No additional material has been added to make the seat – it is all made from melted rope.
