The W* House / Seating

Loft chair

Shelly Shelly / Bernhardt design

$1900

Shelly Shelly – a name surely destined for fame - is a student at the Art Center College of Design in California, whose Loft chair was part of the third annual design studio in collaboration with Bernhardt, presented at ICFF in 2008. The design created a buzz for the unlikelihood that such an experimental but robust form came from the hands of student. Not to say students aren’t capable of genius, simply that the Loft is such a grown-up design that encapsulates a wealth of American and European design heritage. Hand carved from walnut but using laser scanning to reproduce the design, Loft also succinctly merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary technology.
