Magnetic Chair Project - frames for furniture

Brooks Atwood Design wanted to create a “frame” similar to the human nervous system as the basis for furniture investigations. The purpose of the Magnetic Chair Project is to create a process, not a form. By conducting experiments involving magnetizing metals (of different magnetic qualities) and materials infused with metallic properties, (i.e. metallic resins) they can allow a new form to create itself naturally. Using a series of variables of these elements forms resulting from these experiments will inform them of the behaviour of each element. They can then manipulate these variables to create more optimum results in relation to furniture, while maintaining an unadulterated form derived from natural processes.
