Joris Laarman’s Bone Chair

Joris Laarman is a talented Dutch artist whos had his work displayed in major museums like the MoMA in NY.   His Bone Chair, which can be read more about at W Magazine, was designed on a computer and then cast in aluminum, and has helped him create a name for himself. Nicely built!

For the form, Laarman relied on software that car manufacturers use to develop the most efficient shapes for auto parts. (The software was originally inspired by the biology of human bones, whose regenerative capacity allows them to add and subtract matter as needed.)
