Etch Chair, Eco Friendly Furniture by Elizabeth Cordes
September 7th, 2009 - Posted in FurnitureHere is eco chair design named Etch Chair was designed by Elizabeth Cordes, American furniture designer. Etch Chair was designed for the New York manufacturer Material Process Systems (MPS), Brooklyn. The chair was created to be part of the RE/BUILD exhibition at Brooklyn’s Gallery 1889.
Faced with a slowing economy and excess capacity, while having access to surplus materials, idle machinery, underutilized manpower, and a vacant storefront, MPS created the RE/BUILD challenge. Six designers were invited to design and develop products using only the resources available at the MPS shop. The furniture, sculpture, and objects of intrigue resulting from this collaborative endeavor have been put on display at Gallery 1889 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
