George Nelson.

The influence and inspiration for my Fan Char came from George Nelsons famous 'Marshmallow Chair' designed in 1956.

Nelsons design firm had been approached by an inventor who had made this plastic that was cheap to make and would be durable, called injection plastic. As they were from in discs, the designers had to work with a disc form and arranged them into the design we see today. The plastic invention didn't work but looced the onsomble to put the design forward anyway.












George Nelson is such an inspiration to me is because his work is seamless, effortless and so sharp, his designs are incredibly well made and well thought out. The Marshmellow Chair is design and executed in a way only to marvell at at and to look up to. The polished finish and they careful positioning of each individual circle and how he stop stopped at eighteen which made up just enough room and comfort.
