Melt into the 'Blue Rope Serpentine Bench' by Tom Price
Amelia Roblin — October 31, 2010 — Art & Design
The 'Blue Rope Serpentine Bench' is a project by British designer Tom Price that is essentially an extension on a past project. His single seat called the 'Meltdown Chair' has been woven together with five others to create a scraggly multi-seater.
Recognizing both the bright color and intriguing form, the most interesting thing about the 'Blue Rope Serpentine Bench' is no doubt the technology that gave the seat its shape. First existing as a wound-up ball of propylene cord, each individual chair was melted at the top into a groove to accommodate your derriere.
