Produced exclusively for the limited-edition design gallery The Future Perfect, Concrete Melt Chair is developed by Bower Studios' New York-based designers as a play on perceptions between the semantics of the material and its distorted – and therefore ironic – application. Little more than a stool given the very low height of the backrest, the chair has a linear silhouette that is inspired by the seats of ancient Egypt.

What changes its outline is the concrete casting that covers the thin brass frame and that, touching the floor, overlaps on itself forming soft folds. The experimentation of Concrete Melt Chair is also taken up by Marble Melt Chair, a piece from the same line that uses green marble on the same brass profile.
