Conceived as a collectible sculptural lounge chair, the project operates at the threshold between movement and stillness, where instability transforms into stability. The form rises from the ground, flows through space, and returns as a trace of geological force suspended in time. Geometry operates as a continuous flow, dissolving seat, back, and ground into a unified, boundary-less condition. Symmetry is disrupted to construct a deeper equilibrium defined by tension. The project redefines inhabitation as a relationship between body, form, and space, where sitting becomes an immersive spatial experience rather than a predefined function. Recycled materials become instruments of a refined and elevated language, positioning the object simultaneously as chair, landscape, and spatial experience.
