To explain the idea and the process behind this “Affectual Chair,” thinks the same designer Shawn Weiland, based in San Francisco where he works for the study Matthew Ray. A chair entirely centered on the relationship between materials, the relationship between the user and the object – in general – the relationship between people.

With continuing attention to adaptation, where the veins curve and nourish the wood, “Affectual” sees the session to join the metal frame. When the veins are more irregular instead, take over corners and distances. The metal structure itself is a single line that moves in and out of the seat showing the intent to ‘master’ of stainless steel.
