The Angle Chair is intriguing from all angles. Designed by designer and artist Julian Mayor, the Angle Chair is a unique modern seating piece made from recycled honeycomb boards.
Initially, the Angle Chair was created from the map of a person’s seat. The map was then digitized on the computer and sectioned out to create a graphic model. Each Angle Chair is then created from a 3D model and is a numbered edition.
Based out of East London, Julian Mayor is also teaches at the London College of Communication. For information on Mayor’s exhibitions, other products and how to purchase, head to his website at http://www.julianmayor.com/.
