Counterpoise Chair

Counterpoise is a plywood chair comprised of two parts with dynamic shapes that balance each other. Taken separately, each part would be unsteady, but taken together they function as a steady-state system.

Kaptura de Aer designs are intended to be defined mostly by what’s beyond their materiality, thus the shape is not a final goal but hint. On this line, Counterpoise final shape brings up the idea of interplay.
