For this chair design, I carried out the idea of symbiosis and the interactions between organisms which allows for substantial advantageous results for both entities. Living in Miami, Florida and being surrounded by the beautiful flora and fauna, I wanted to take inspiration from the natural world to then combine Miami’s ideals of land and sea elements, concentrating on underwater creatures such as jellyfish, as well as above-ground eco-systems such as strangler fig trees. Using Autodesk Maya, I was able to create a 3D engagement with this chair intervention and specify its function as symbiotically interacting with human beings. In terms of material, I chose to demonstrate a 3D printable piece, keeping in mind conditions of sustainability as this 3D printing process would incorporate a biodegradable PLA corn-plastic based filament. I then coated the intervened piece with a biodegradable epoxy resin. This piece was later attached to Philippe Starck’s AI Chair by Kartell and later displayed/ sold at Showfields in Miami during Art Basel Week Miami. 2020
