Daniel Fritz Put ICFF in *The Trance*
Recent graduate and budding young designer, Daniel Fritz, showcased his meditation inspired chair at ICFF.
The Trance chair was designed for the 2011 Wilsonart Challenge. Wilsonart International sponsors a college or university every year to create seating devices that celebrates their surfacing laminate, this year they sponsored RIT in Rochester New York
In collaboration with Wilsonart, each RIT sponsoree addressed a situation or context, in Daniel’s case it was meditation. He chose to evoke the feeling of meditation through visual cues in the chair such as hypnotic repetition and slight separation of shapes. By breaking up the laminate, which naturally has two dimensional qualities, Daniel was able to construct the surface of the chair into an inviting and organic shell shape, inspired by the welcoming proportions of Bertoia’s Diamond Chair and Saarinen’s Womb Chair.
Daniel just celebrated his graduation this past weekend, and is excited about contributing to the design field and create relationships between the user and his/her products.
