TO SIT, OUT IN THE WILD reimagines the chair through a contemplation of the natural landscape.
The exhibition questions what counts as a seat and where the need for formality begins to construct sitting forms. When does a stump become a chair and an indent create a sitting spot? Furniture designer Cam Morgan and interior designer Dasha Tolotchkov curate a space between practices that supports experimentation and testing, extending preliminary ideas that are often perfected or sketched over. Through an iterative process the exhibition showcases a series of material forms at a miniature scale exploring the detail of nature’s wildly-ness and its solidity in the form of a chair, functional, imaginative and instinctual.
