Melting chair by philipp aduatz 2011 edition of 12 + 3 a/p dimensions: 95 x 93 x 78 cm materials: glass fibre reinforced polymer with a special silver coating new since 2012: special black chrome edition of 12 + 3 a/p philipp aduatz´ intention in the design of the melting chair is to capture a transient transformation within a sculptural object. The melting chair, which is suitable for use, is carefully crafted to appear to the viewer either as a solid chair melting away or as a solidification of a liquid melt. Usually, materials can be observed in certain aggregate phases: they can be solid, fluid or gaseous, but not at the same time. Only during phase transitions the borders between these phases become blurred. This moment of change seems utterly fragile and filled with fascinating possibilities at the same time. Aduatz main goal in the design of the melting chair was to hold on to this fleeting moment and phrase his fascination for it into a usable object. To create a realistic illusion, aduatz studied the solidification of fluids as well as the melting of solids with modern 3d animation software. With this background, he designed the surface of the object down to the smallest detail - like an architect plans a huge skyscraper. Through form studies with cnc milled polystyrene models and rapid prototyping he ensured a perfect geometry. The final object is made out of a fiberglass reinforced polymer, a light and strong composite material that is very durable. The surface is coated with a special mirror coating for a metallic appearance. A special clear lacquer is used to protect the mirror coating from aging and makes the surface of the melting chair scratch resistant. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
