Jean-Pascal Flavien Heavy Metal Chair / The consumer of depravity will collapse, 2020

The title Heavy Metal Chairs refers to the physical weight, the music genre and its emotional state as the parts playing a role in the making of the project. The word heavy is in contradiction to the lightness of the carbon material while representing the music genre of the two songs that accompany the show and the burdensome mood that characterizes Heavy Metal music in opposition to a more comforting mindset of object design. Conversely to what the name suggests, the structure of the heavy metal chairs is built of carbon fiber material, giving them mechanical strength and allowing lightness and extreme thinness. Their weight ranges from 1,6 to 2,2 KG. The parts covered with paper and finished with colored resin reminiscent of corrugated cardboard makes the chair unreal; the encounter with the object as a result is loaded with disbelief.
