Supine Chair

The purpose of the piece "Supine" is to address the conventional presumption that furniture is a functional one. That is a chair is to be sat upon comfortably. With the piece "supine" this presumption is rendered defunct.

The actual function of this piece is to question the viewer in their conditioning of what furniture is the preliminary idea of a large carrying blade, developed into that of a design, with references to sword design. This pushing the viewer to confront themselves with the notion that a piece of furniture can be used as a weapon.
