Following extensive testing, Marjan and James came up with a combination of a bio-resin, water, and shavings of a mixture of lengths (generated by different operations) that created a kind of controlled explosion. The resin, mixed with a colour, forms a porridge-like mass, which can be moulded against an existing classic polypropylene chair to create a seat form (why create a mould when such an excellent one is already available?) and is fixed to simple but elegant legs of turned ash – a deliberate contrast to the exuberance of the seat.
This is a method for creating unique chairs, since the behaviour of the mixture is unpredictable, and the colours do not mix evenly. There is a degree of ‘give’ in the resin which adds to the comfort.
