Eyrie chair17. Jul2012

"The nest of a bird is an inventive piece of natural architecture. As a designer, who works a lot with natural material, I was always fascinated by these natural structures. The Eyrie Chair is an ode to these natural constructions.During my search for branches I was specifically interested in the forms. The specific forms of these wooden branches inspired as well in making this design." - Floris Wubben

In our work of designing we thus try to put a certain material into new perspectives. While transforming and combining materials, new purposes will arise naturally. By using uncommon materials, applications or combinations for a certain design, we focus on diminishing prejudices and on giving these materials a new face. An example of this is the use of decorative materials for constructive purposes.
The designs of “Studio Floris Wubben” enable furniture and nature to co-operate together into ultimate harmony. One uses the other, since they need each other to create the whole and final design. As a consequence, living qualities of nature will have a constant influence on our projects. We try to use human action as less as possible and to apply nature the way it is given. After creating a certain design, one can see that a part of nature is transformed into a sculpture, an utensil, without losing respect for nature.
