Spoon chair by philipp aduatz limited edition of 12 dimensions: d 126 x w 52 x h 120 cm materials: carbon fiber reinforced polymer, car paint. The main idea behind philipp aduatz’s spoon chair is to bring the beauty of a bent-back leaf into an object by modifying the principle of the cantilever: here the lever, instead of reaching horizontally, extends upward in one direction. It then loops around over the top, back towards the center, to support its own and a person’s weight. In the spoon chair, aduatz combines design with ergonomics through modern fabrication technology such as computer numeric control (cnc) milling and rapid prototyping. The development of the spoon chair was an extensive process. Beginning with a sketch, aduatz created a 3d model and fabricated a first polystyrene prototype through cnc milling. This initial model was manually reshaped until it fulfilled the most basic requirements of seating comfort. Then the original cad-data was updated with a 3d scan of the reshaped model to obtain an improved digital version of the spoon chair. The procedure of milling, reshaping, and digital updating was repeated to the point of optimal seating comfort. Quite a few life-size as well as some scaled-down models were necessary to achieve the best result. The moulds for the production of the final spoon chair were created with cad-data and cnc milling technology as well. Carbon fibers are materials used in motorsports and aerospace applications. They show a very high strength, durability, and stiffness along with an extremely low weight. The spoon chair could only be crafted with the support of a high-tech material such as a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. 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
issues arising from misattribution less
