Frozen Pastrethinks the idea of covering old chairs, hiding the wearing effect of time,in a different vision.
Startingfrom the idea to retrain the antique beauty of the aesthetically disused chairs,we have designed an inflatable cover for them, which emphasizes the sentimentaland symbolic value.
The chair seems to be in a temporal bubble: the present isliterally based on the past, as if different layers of time are overlapped.
