Gis Chair

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2022

This audio description presents a sculptural wooden lounge chair photographed against a neutral interior setting, inviting listeners to construct a mental image of this remarkable furniture piece. The overall format is a three-quarter view showing the chair from its front-left aspect, revealing both the welcoming seat interior and the elegant profile of its structure. Beginning with the background, a smooth wall in soft dove gray occupies the upper two-thirds of the composition, meeting a charcoal slate floor with subtle surface texture suggesting stone or concrete. The chair itself dominates the center and right portion of the frame, its warm brown presence creating striking contrast against the cool neutral surroundings. The seat back rises like a cresting wave, its surface curving continuously from a deep concave basin upward to a gently undulating upper edge approximately two-thirds the total image height. The wood color graduates from deep chocolate brown in shadowed recesses, warm as dark roasted coffee, through rich caramel tones suggesting maple syrup in sunlight, to pale honey and champagne highlights along the uppermost edge where light from the upper left illuminates natural grain patterns. Visible in the upper back are fine lines and small natural fissures in the wood, evidence of the material's organic origins, appearing as delicate tracery against the lighter wood tones. The seat basin curves inward like a giant smooth palm, its surface polished to a satin finish suggesting warmth and smoothness to the touch. Three sculptural legs support the form, each carved with muscular swelling at the upper portion tapering to slender ankles, their shapes reminiscent of graceful animal limbs. Each leg terminates in a small cylindrical brass cap, warm golden in color like burnished antique metal, providing both protection and decorative accent.

Gis is a three legged wooden chair with bronze feet and is carved out from two walnut logs with exquisite craftsmanship to seem as a sculpture. The wood knots and scars are remained exposed to give the objects a special characteristic. Despite its uncanny appearance, Gis is ergonomic due to the careful design of curves and angles. The design is an exploration of solid wood possibilities and also is a walk on the edge of Art and Design, Beauty and Function.
