RABBIT JOINT CHAIR BY RYAN YOON AND HARC LEE

"Through this project, we explore a few different ways to join two objects. It was very exciting to see a typical and ordinary component such as a joint became a major characteristic of a chair."

Six rabbit joints made of bio resin are used in the Rabbit Joint Chair to hold the seat, back and legs together. To make the joinery, rabbit ears are carved on the seat and several holes aligned with the ears are drilled on the leg. Bio resin is then poured into the rabbit ears until the resin flows into the holes and fills all the paths.

Minimal chair made of square-section steel tubes welded together to leave one corner disjointed from the backrest. 

"My intention was to create a chair by breaking rules and standards,"Sandro Lominashvili

According to the designer the chair has been approached tentatively, but users are surprised to find it sturdy and even "quite comfortable."
