ÆTHER/MASS
The Parabole Chair is defined by a solid wooden structure and a clear, upright stance. Its proportions and weight give the object a sense of presence, recalling the chair’s historical role as a symbol of authority rather than everyday seating.
The name refers to the carved backrest, where material is precisely removed to form a curved recess. This intervention introduces a controlled contrast between mass and void, allowing the geometry of the chair to remain strict while softening its visual and physical presence.
