By tearing the wooden board and exposing its inner grain, the process itself becomes the source of the chair’s form.

Stripped
When human behavior has already been defined by furniture, the chair Stripped instead redefines furniture through human behavior. An everyday ‘lazy’ act - hanging clothes on a chair, becomes the starting point for redefining what a chair can be. While most designs aim to make humans better at ‘being lazy,’ Stripped takes a more direct and almost violent approach: it tells you openly, ‘I know you are lazy, so I become the form that allows your laziness.’ The wooden board, torn apart into multiple segments, resembles a body exposing its inner core: an act of vulnerability and trust—issuing a warm and explicit invitation to the simple gesture of throwing your clothes onto the chair.
“ I understand you. I empathize with you. So just do it this way. ”
