NAGA CHAIR.

2019

Born out of the need for office chairs, Maman, inspired by the sculpture of Louise Bourgeois stands fragile, cast in aluminium and finished in a dark bronze. Standing on five legs that appear unstable, the carefully engineered seat is surprisingly comfortable with a calculated back rest that ensures you sit upright. Maman, cast in three parts has every piece that fits uniquely illustrating its handmade, tactile quality. The cold metal finds warmth with the form of the chair, larger than life yet sleeker in feel, finding voice through the reiterated wabi-sabi aesthetic Shah gravitates towards.
