Nendo mit einer kurzweiligen Darstellung von 50 verschiedenen Stuhl-Designs, animiert im Manga Stil.
“50 manga chairs is the result of adapting the strong symbolic nature of manga comics to furniture design.
“Manga consists of a series of frames on a single sheet of paper that creates a sequence. Similarly, 50 standard chairs are lined up in a grid, each one conjures up a sense of story, and each with a design element from manga. For example, a ‘speech bubble’ or ‘effect line’ are added to visualize sound or action. Or emotional symbols from manga, like ‘sweat’ or ‘tears’, are formed so that a sense of story and character can be felt.
“Manga is a means of expression with a high degree of flatness and abstraction, and which is composed of a series of lines. We could say that manga comics are deeply rooted in Japanese culture, since they can be traced back to Ukiyoe prints developed during the Edo period (1603-1868 A.D.).”
