Tron Armchair composed of ‘digital’ rock

December 5, 2010Design, Imagesarmchair, Cappellini, chair, Dror Benshetrit, furnature, Tron, Tron: LegacyScott Meisner

In collaboration with Disney and seating manufacturer Cappellini, New York-based designer Dror Benshetrit has focused all his Tron: Legacy excitment and created this awesome Tron-inspired armchair.

Dror’s mission on this project was to articulate the complex meaning of objects in the simplest of ways; their uses becoming a part of their narratives, expressed in transformations that are both metaphorical and literal. Raw data forms a jag and angular landscape for the chair, which is comprised of intersecting layers and textures of ‘digital’ rock. The armchairs will be constructed from composite materials that consist of impregnated fiberglass with polyester resin, processed with manual layering.

Each armchair produced will be individually hand-finished by the designer and they’ll be presented at the Milan Furniture Fair in April 2011. There’s no word on price or release date, but mass production is being promised. Um, I want one of these now! Look in the gallery below to browse through the multiple funky color options.
