An Lena
Simone Harbert created her An Lena chair as part of Parasites & Hybrids, a student exhibition at the Burg Giebichenstein College of Art and Design in Germany. The piece is a parasitic prototype, which cleverly supports itself by gripping into the masonry work of the walls it leans against. Harbert's idea is that with lightweight and mobile furniture, urban landscapes can quickly be transformed into community spaces. JK
An Lena chair.
An Lena chair detail.
i love this! i could see it being perfect for using at a boat house or something where you pull out a chair/bench while people are going for a swim.. something a sort of temporary
yeesss
Clever idea. Seductive design . . .
. . . but . . .
. . . How do I carry this to the place where I want to have my community conversations? Where do I store it in the meantime? What if there's no wall? Walkstools seem more practical and just as interesting from a design point.
Isn't it just as big as a bench with the legs facing down? I love the concept and I'm not even sure if the design is supposed to be practical, but something to think about.
