Yoshio Fukumori + MDC
Type: Furniture
Year: 2018
MDC, a Mexican concrete furniture company, invited me to design a precast chair for the Inédito exhibition at Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Design Week Mexico 2018. We wanted to redefine the design of the iconic Mexican Acapulco chair. We proposed a shape with a vault double-curvature surface geometry that helps with the structural rigidity, and to use the least amount of material. This project embodies my deep interest in the integration of form, fabrication, and performance.
