Introducing Babu:
An events chair that embodies temporary modes of occupation. Babu draws together a composition of steel, hand shaped and finished with custom powder coating, inflated biodegradable TPU, 3D printed PLA hardware and ratchet fastening.
The design and its materiality plays on the ephemeral nature of the event. A bubble caught before it dissipates, inflating and tethered to its minimal structure the chairs literally ‘pop up’ and pack down.
