Polygon Chair
Manufacturer: Joris Laarman Lab
The Polygon Chair is part of Joris Laarman’s Maker Series, where all the chairs are built from digitally fabricated parts that fit together like a 3 dimensional puzzle. The pieces fro this chair were CNC milled from solid oak.
Laarman’s intention was to create something that could radically expand the potential of of small consumer 3D printers and CNC milling machines. The studio plans on making the designs for many of the chairs available for download, and will encourage others to modify and make them.
