The chair form is modelled on the computer, then sliced into layers by the software. Each slice has a unique profile much like a giant butterfly of varying size. A process of optimising the cutting pattern of the sheets then follows to reduce the off-cuts to a minimum. The cut sheets are stacked and attached one upon each other to create the 3d form from the flat 2 D sheets.

Slice takes two dimensional material to make a three dimensionel form.
