COLLABORATION
The Poloplaey Chair: a collaboration between Loft Ltd and Plaey Workshop. Together, the plastic Robin Day chair seats that Loft produce, and a custom designed wooden base by Matt Kelly of Plaey, are combined to make up a brand new, eco-friendly chair design that eliminates waste from the production process. Some of the plastic seats come out of the mould with minor defects, so rather than waste them, Loft and Plaey teamed up to create a series of Poloplaey chairs.
To celebrate the launch of this new product line, several local Leeds based artists were asked to create a design for the exterior of the chairs. Here is my response. The 6 unique custom chairs were raffled off after being displayed across the UK, with all proceeds going to MAP charity, a Leeds based organisation that provides alternative education for young people.
Chair on display at Leeds Corn Exchange, before being taken round the country and displayed at several locations, ending at London’s Design Week.
