layers of time are fossilized within the essence of amber… korean design jaeuk jung draws on the qualities of this natural resin as a solution in which to reflect and preserve the final moments of a decaying object. his ‘amber chair’ ‘fossilizes’ michael thonet’s classic ‘chair no. 14′, enclosing the antique piece of furniture and turning it into a contemporary design object. thus a new chair is presented without removing the past completely, but conserving it.
‘amber chair’ was on show as part of ‘the savage mind’ in spazio rossana orlandi during milan design week 2010.
