Carton Chair M4 "Trojan Horse"

Sébastien de Ganay

 

Sculptures - Carton Series

From a series of his Carton Sculptures, objects mimicking cardboard boxes, intact or unfolded, welded from 5mm aluminum plates, which were powder coated to give them a carton look Sébastien de Ganay derived the Carton Chairs, taking the esthetics of the Carton Sculptures into the Applied Arts.

Carton Chairs are fully functional chairs, with human dimensions and ergonomics, but convey the impression of being folded from cardboard boxes. One principle is that the shape of the Carton Chair could in theory be unfolded and then be folded back into regular, rectangular cardboard box, as if the Carton Chair was made from one piece.
