Glass

June 2023

Beginning as a study of UV Light Glass Bonding, this chair embodies the concept of “Chairness,” challenging the conventional definitions and boundaries of furniture. It is not constructed to support any weight; rather, its transparent glass material emphasizes fragility, while the sharp cuts and corners contribute to a sense of threat. The chair’s design invites a cautious curiosity. By capturing a video of it being used and ultimately broken, this piece transforms into a performance art experience that captivates the audience, leaving them in a state of awe and astonishment.

What is UV Light Glass Bonding?

UV light glass bonding is a specialized technique that uses ultraviolet light to cure adhesive between glass surfaces. This method allows for strong, transparent bonds without the need for traditional mechanical fasteners, resulting in seamless joints that enhance the aesthetic qualities of the glass. UV light curing adhesives bond quickly and efficiently, making them ideal for intricate designs where visibility and integrity are crucial. This technique not only reinforces the visual impact of the chair but also contributes to its conceptual exploration of vulnerability and strength in contemporary furniture design.
