ALTITUDE CHAIRS
[OBJECTS]
2023-Onward
The Altitude Chair series originates from the Last Snow project.
The Altitude Chairs pay tribute to mountain refuges — gateways to a realm no longer of the Earth yet not quite of the sky. Each seat reflects a moment in the refuge experience, from arrival to restful conversation, while capturing the simplicity and atmosphere of these shelters through refined and sensitive objects.
The chairs are more than functional pieces; they embody a connection to nature, slowness, and contemplation. In a world dominated by productivity, they serve as a reminder of the need to pause, to reconnect with oneself and with the surrounding environment.
The minimalist aesthetic of these chairs draws inspiration from refuges where nothing is superfluous. Their monolithic form evokes the timeless objects found in these places, inspiring trust. The softness of their shapes echoes the patina left by repeated use.
Actions and images that shaped the Last Snow project serve to establish the foundations of a practice that advocates for harmony between human beings and their environment.
In this particular case, that of the mountain, where consequences of climate change are felt more strongly than everywhere else, this environment takes on a special status as a research laboratory.
