Mathematics so often brings elegance to design, revealing patterns and relationships that create visual harmony. Through geometry, proportion, and curvature, it transforms simple forms into balanced, purposeful structures.
My love of math and science has often influenced my work on a functional level, allowing me to bring ideas to life. But for this project I wanted to embody this love in the form and soul of this chair.
I explored these geometric principles and used them to create a sense of clarity and beauty that feels both natural and precise.
