ZAP-GAP CHAIR by Dirk Marwig

ZAP-GAP CHAIR (Plywood with plexiglass inlay and cable ties, 98.5cm x 63.5cm x 41cm, Dirk Marwig 2015) The only chair in the world with this design and construction. My 4th “Gap”Chair this time not held together with glue but only with the help of Cable ties (Zap-straps) hence: “ZAP-GAP” .

-Super solid, comfortable and cool.

Of all chairs that have ever been made/designed/constructed throughout “DESIGN and ART HISTORY”, this one definitely stands out because of the 'gap' between backrest and seat, the five main components being connected only with cable ties to form a very strong connecting bond and the combination of materials applied (plywood, plexiglass and nylon cable tioes). I nearly went mad making it because each cut, groove, hole, length and angle had to be just "perfect". The 2nd set of photos show the 'deconstructed' ZAP-GAP Chair. http://dirkmarwig.com/project/furniture/
