Argentinian designer Andrés Reisinger presents his latest exhibition dubbed 12 Chairs for Meditation. He takes on a more spiritual route for design this time and it was all presented at the Viale Lancetti gallery in Nilufar for Milan Design Week. All of the designs were formed around the vision that Andrés Reisinger had during a meditation process. As a result of this experience, he created 12 chairs with various forms and materials.
Reisinger explains the design process, "I didn't make them all together like you would in a design project. Sometimes there were months in between. It was more like a diary. It was not about making everything make sense. It's not like a chess game, where you're trying to put pieces together. I wasn't trying to make something visually pleasing; I was trying to make them something that you can relate to and feel."
