Lifting Body
Chair
Carbon Fibre
60x 45 cm
Black
Sculptural lightweight aerodynamic chair
2008
The Lifting Body Carbon Fibre stool is the second in b+k’s carbon fibre group. A fusion of aeronautics and furniture design, the stool explores the sculptural and lightweight properties of the material, and references inspiration in the flight industry and futuristic furniture (from as early as the 1940’s)
The range is currently composed of four pieces (but is expanding to six as we speak). The Wingback 2010 is the most recent in the group, taking inspiration from the forward thinking early Danish wingback chairs and the iconic 50s + 60s chairs of Australian designer Grant Featherston .
In addition to their work as designers Blakebrough is a flight artist/King a film-maker – the Winged Self documents the first test flights of Blakebrough’s VTOL flying platform.
