Survival of the Fittest Chair
A project commissioned by Creative Scotland, Nick Ross and Fraser Reid created a series of unique chairs each altered from a set of identical archetypes. Inspired from evolution and the implication of man’s hands. Analogous to domestic selection, these chairs take on new identities. Through this process, a never-ending variety of forms, colors, materials and functions evolve over time. Unlike the design process nature cannot start from a blank canvas but instead must work with what already exists to try and develop improved variants. Everything is a work in progress.

Simple, but good looking chairs. Although, I am not quite sure about the ergonomics of the chairs.

Love it in this order, #6, #5, #1.
untitled #6 would just look class in any finnish that shows of the wood grain.
