Permanent Souls Chair Collection Blurs the Line Between Memory and Function - Yanko Design
"Most furniture exists to solve a problem. You need somewhere to sit, so you get a chair. You need storage, so you get a shelf. But what happens when a piece of furniture stops trying to solve anything and starts asking questions instead? The Permanent Souls collection does exactly that, creating chairs and stools that challenge everything we think we know about seating."
"The visual impact is immediate and haunting. Light passes through the netting in patterns that shift as you move around each piece. The chairs appear solid from a distance, but up close they reveal their permeable nature. You can see through them, around them, and into the spaces they create. They exist in that strange territory between presence and absence, like memories made tangible."
The Permanent Souls collection transforms discarded polypropylene nets into chairs and stools that blur the line between function and idea. Nets reclaimed from construction sites and sports facilities are draped and shaped into forms that read as familiar seating yet reveal permeable, translucent structures on closer inspection. Light interacts with the netting to create shifting patterns, while varied pieces range from fabric-like drapes to more rigid silhouettes. Each piece rejects a prescribed use, instead inviting experimental interaction and questioning what remains of an object's purpose after its original function ends.
