Ingot Chair
Marc Sweeney£9,600.00
Description
Loch Lomond native, Marc’s chair is made from a condemned aluminium boat gangway, each piece cast by hand by Marc in an open mould at a precise temperature to preserve the top pour surface of the molten metal. The tension lends a playful, inflated quality to an otherwise geometric form; the levity belies the solidity. This is a work of magnificent singularity. Has it transfigured from a parallel culture in the past or future?
The Ingot Chair was first exhibited as part of Wallpaper* magazine’s Material Alchemists exhibition at the Triennale Museum for Design in Milan, May 2025.
Height 75cm, seat height 45cm, width 32cm, depth 51.5cm
