The ArcChair

is designed by TAKT studios, a Danish furniture company known for their minimalist and sustainable designs. The chair is created from just two pieces of wood that are bent and curved to create the seat. In Denmark, one design philosophy is apparent and that is form following function. In the design process, this design philosophy is seen in for example the chair’s backrest which is curved to fit the natural curve of the human spine. Furthermore, the seat is angled slightly downward to ensure good posture. The chair is made from sustainably sourced oak or ash wood. The minimalistic design makes it not only a functional chair, but a timeless piece of furniture.

To emphasise the wooden style and the sustainable nature of the chair, I decided to photograph the chair in a forest setting but with a twist of one chair being the dominant figure and another chair playing the role as more uncertain figure. The natural light of the forest is the key light design which ensures that both form and materiality is communicated in the photo.
