MELTDOWN CHAIR: PP
TUBE # 2 DESIGN BY TOM PRICE 2007
This second version
of the PP Tube chair tests the strength of the material and process
by greatly reducing the amount of tube used. Whereas the first version had many
legs for support, this has just four and many fewer welded joints overall.
These are produced
in a limited edition of 50 in white, and 50 in black. They form part of a
series of chairs created using the same technique with different materials.
Materials:
Polypropylene tube
Approximate dimensions: H: 750 mm - W: 450 mm - D: 450 mm

TOM PRICE
Born in London in 1973, Tom Price continues to live and work in the
capital. Drawing on his training in both sculpture and design, his practice
regularly delves into the grey areas between the two disciplines.
Much of the work Price produces seeks to explore the untapped
potential of familiar materials, encouraging them to behave in unfamiliar ways.
This often requires developing machinery and tools that are capable of
subverting conventional industrial manufacturing techniques, introducing a dose
of entropy into what are typically very controlled processes. Chance is an
essential element in this creative process, and one that Price relies on to
transcend the limits of imagination.
Since graduating from London’s Royal College of Art, Price has
established an international career as an artist and designer with works in
major collections and museums worldwide, including acquisitions by San
Francisco MOMA, Denver Art Museum, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the MKG
Hamburg, and Amore Pacific Museum of Art in Seoul. He has also completed
several large-scale sculptural commissions for public and private spaces.
