The Sound/Chair by Matthew Plummer-Fernandez. Sound/Chair begins as a sound that is precisely crafted to form the shape of a chair when visualized as a 3-dimensional object using a volume, time, frequency plot. The chair is an exact replica of the soundwave graph. The result is a product with dual existence as both a sound and chair, and a new approach to designing products. This product was launched at the London Design Festival in September and will be on Sale at Selfridges September 2008 at £3950(about $7,900).
fact 1: I made 719 sounds to finally reach the one I produced as a chair.
fact 2: I do my own programming to graph the sounds.
fact 3: There is a lot of mathematics involved in the process as the frequency domain has to extracted from the data and plotted against time and volume. by Matthew Plummer-Fernandez.
