The mono project, which includes chairs, tables and stools. the mono project has been developed from my previous work, mono chair which is signifying how I've built the process of finding the essential nature of things. this work was created to pursue the ultimate foundation of a chair design through taking the form of the minimized structure and using fundamental materials. It was made of welded stainless steel or steel without using diminutive components including bolts and nuts, hence it appears like a single organized solid material.

Material
stainless steel or steel

Measure
table 1200 x 700 x 740(mm)

I have developed the mono chair in concrete version. The concrete mono chair is made of concrete and steel from several parts mold . It appears like a single organised solid material as the previous steel mono chair.

Material
concrete, steel

As grid chair previously defined, Mono Chair is also signifying how I've built the process of finding the essential nature of things. This work was created to pursue the ultimate foundation of a chair design through taking the form of the minimized structure and using fundamental materials in comparison with grid chair to show the core part of a chair in the manner of dismantling the ornamented parts of it. It was made of welded stainless steel without using diminutive components including bolts and nuts, hence mono chair appears like a single organized solid material.

Material
stainless steel

The grid chair represents one of my works that pursue the nature and functions of objects. Mono chair is coming up with an answer for finding the ultimate foundation of a chair design in the way that a production process is highly minimized. Mono chair seeks an extreme simplicity by a conventional way, welding which does not need any small components such as bolts or nuts. Mono chair proto version will be revealed at the '2010 Seoul Design Festival' for the first time.
