Harmonica Chair
The harmonica (accordion in Polish) is a popular musical instrument with a distinctive pleated shape. The Harmonica chair is an experiment in deconstructing the pleats into separate triangles and making flexible connections. We used plywood for the structure and flexible jute rope for connectors. The geometry of the triangles helped to minimize wasted plywood. The tension of the yarn keeps the structure together and creates a seat.
