Svilen Gamolov 'Cage' Chair

The pursuit of industrial design is often a perilous slope, with a combination of unforgiving materials and minimalist applications making aesthetic achievement a difficult prospect, but Svilen Gamolov’s ‘Cage’ chair succeeds where others have failed. The chair, which combines a frame made up of steel and wood with an upholstered seat, demonstrates Gamolov’s ability to interplay industrial aspects with necessary comforts. Ultimately, the ‘Cage’ succeeds because all of the careful thoughts and efforts incorporated in it remain so highly unified that they are concealed to the viewer, as they should be.
