This stool is made of pigmented concrete. On the seating of the stool, Jonatan Nilsson used a technique that exposes the stones mixed into the concrete, resulting in a coarse but very beautiful surface. Nilsson has made his own mixes of concrete, adding different kinds of stones and pigments. The stool has a core of Styrofoam but still weighs around 30 kilos and gives a very solid impression. Signed with a smiley face logo on the underside.
The stool is part of Nilsson's project Concretely Happy:
Concretely Happy is a project that experiments with concrete as a material, examining the need for a figurative narrative and stressing the importance of materiality in architecture and design.
The starting point for the project is the transition from 1920s neo-classicism to functionalism in Sweden. The neo-classicism of the 1920s was the dominant architectural style and was strongly influenced by Antiquity, with facades of buildings decorated at the time with ancient and mythological subjects. Functionalism’s aesthetic expression, simpler and without ornament, made for more rational dwellings during the 1930s with its depressed economy and scarcity of housing. Reinforced concrete was a new building material that made it possible to liberate oneself from history and to construct a new society.
Nilsson wanted to investigate concrete, its materiality as well as possible forms of expression. Techniques that he has used include pigmentation, exposing the aggregate (stones), as well as a technique for creating reliefs that he has developed himself.
Este taburete está hecho de hormigón pigmentado. En el asiento del taburete, Jonatan Nilsson ha utilizado una técnica que deja al descubierto las piedras mezcladas en el hormigón, lo que da como resultado una superficie gruesa pero muy bella. Nilsson ha hecho sus propias mezclas de hormigón, añadiendo diferentes tipos de piedras y pigmentos. El taburete tiene un núcleo de espuma de poliestireno, pero sigue pesando unos 30 kilos y da una impresión muy sólida. Está firmado con el logotipo de una cara sonriente en la parte inferior.
El taburete forma parte del proyecto de Nilsson Concretely Happy:
