Thyme Chair, 2018
The Thyme Chair emphasises juxtaposition. The juxtaposition of contrasting high and low-end materials; of visual weights; of the traditional concepts of eco-friendly and luxe. Isabella's chair conveys sentiments of comfort, power and the desire to linger. The design captures a sense of quality, luxury, and heirloom appeal.
Aesthetic appeal is the key design tool applied where sustainability on its own isn’t enough. It's market is aimed towards a high-end and aesthetically-driven client in a commercial or private environment.
