Inspired by Disney’s film TRON: Legacy, Dror Benshetrit has designed this monolith of a chair which is currently on show as part of this month's Design Miami event.
Produced in collaboration with Cappellini and Walt Disney Signature, the chair references the Outlands terrain in the film; a bleak and rugged panorama beyond the sleek and ordered lines of 'The Grid', which forms the central setting for the digital world of Tron.
Raw data forms a jagged and angular landscape, serving as a muse for an armchair that is comprised of intersecting layers and textures of digital rock. Constructed out of 100% recycled roto-moulded plastic, with varying textural surfaces, the Trom Armchair invites you to 'sit off the grid'.
To turn Dror’s design into a finished product, Cappellini has extensively developed the manufacturing techniques involved to form the many irregular facets of the chair with a seamless finish.
Want to get your hands on one? The armchair will be manufactured for retail sale in a range of colourways from Spring 2011.
