An organic sculptural armchair cast from clear resin encapsulating raw
A striking sculptural furniture precedent demonstrating the encapsulation of raw stone within clear cast resin to create a fluid, biomorphic armchair.
- What we like about this project
- Large, irregular porous stone chunks appear to float seamlessly inside the thick transparent resin arms.

- Geometry
- An asymmetrical, anthropomorphic chair form with bulbous armrests and a scooped seat, fluidly molded out of a solid block of transparent material.
- Structural guess
- Solid cast transparent resin functioning as a load-bearing monolithic shell.
- Spatial scale
- Furniture scale, designed to seat a single person.
- Lighting
- Directional studio lighting catches the curved, polished edges of the translucent resin and highlights the varied textures of the embedded stone.
- Atmosphere
- Curious and elemental, contrasting geological weight with translucent lightness.
- Environmental context
- Isolated against a dark studio background, focusing entirely on the sculptural object.
- Spatial experience
- A furniture piece that visually suspends heavy geological fragments within a glossy, tactile container, creating a tension between raw earth and smooth synthetic finish.
- Composition rhythm
- Symmetrical overall silhouette disrupted by the random, natural distribution of internal stone pieces.
