Forming part of his final year project at Kunsthochschule Kassel, young German designer Christof Schmidt‘ presented his new 'DaR' chair at DMY Berlin.

A smart, bold-looking seat, but it's the joining technique which is a little different from most processes of furniture construction.

To construct DaR, Schmidt broke the wooden pieces of the chair to measure and placed them into a silicone-mould.

Due to its expansion, the poured in polyurethane foam infiltrates into every single wooden fibre at the breaking point and connects the pieces soundly.
