The Melting Chair is a work of art by Vienna-based designer Philipp Aduatz who has attempted to create a chair which creates an illusion as if it was melting. The chair is made of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer with special silver coating and scratch resistant polyurethane lacquer.
Acording to the Designer:
Philipp Aduatz’s intention in the design of the Melting Chair is to capture a transient transformation within a sculptural object. The Melting Chair, which is suitable for use, is care fully crafted to appear to the viewer either as a solid chair melting away or as a solidification of a liquid melt. To create a realistic illusion, Aduatz studied the solidification of fluids as well as the melting of solids with modern 3D animation software.
