Hortensia Chair, N/A Original Manufacturer: Moooi > Designer: Reisinger Studio > Country: Netherlands

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Hortensia Chair is definitely a statement piece. After his 3D rendering went viral on social media, Argentinian designer Andrés Reisinger has finally made this cloud-like chair a reality. The main inspiration behind this design comes from hydrangea flowers. Thousands of pale pink petals hide the underlying structure, giving shape to the chair.

The primary challenge has been creating its singular fluffy surface. Andrés implemented a new production process in collaboration with Jùlia Esqué. Around 500 strips of laser-cut fabric were ruched into clusters and assembled together in order to make this chair. Reisinger believes that rendering-based design can forge a new kind of approach for designers. An approach not limited by the boundaries of the physical world and by development problems. A free approach guided by imagination, with no limits.
