Intertidal


16"D x 16"W x 30"H
seat height 18 1/2"
tabby concrete, steel reinforcement
completed 2020




The Intertidal project aims to engage public with Intertidal biodiversity of the Howe Sound in British Columbia. The chair is designed for both human and non-human use. With each passing tide the chair will become less of a seat for humans and more of a home for aquatic life. Its form relates to the archetypal chair for human use however the additional legs and tabby clam shell texture are added to provide places for non-human life to live/hide/grow.
