Hamburger-Shaped Office Chair

The Hamburger-Shaped Office Chair is a distinctive product from Studio Job's Un_Limited Editions series, designed for the Italian brand Seletti. The following provides an introduction from three aspects: design background, design features, and exhibition information.

Design Background
The Hamburger-Shaped Office Chair originates from a collaborative project between Studio Job and the Italian brand Seletti, as part of the Un_Limited Editions series. This series focuses on breaking the boundaries of traditional furniture design by combining everyday food elements with functional furniture, creating products that are both artistic and practical. Studio Job, a renowned design studio, excels at reconstructing classic items with exaggerated visual language and humor. The design of this hamburger chair continues their 'surrealist' style, aiming to provoke reflections on consumer culture and daily life through familiar food symbols.

Design Features
The design of the hamburger chair highly replicates the visual structure of a hamburger:

• Seat Section: It adopts a 'bun' shape, with two layers of rounded, curved structures mimicking the fluffy texture of a hamburger bun. The surface may enhance realism through the use of soft fabric or leather materials.
• Cushion Details: The cushion area is designed in the shape of a 'small patty', complemented by decorative elements resembling 'tomatoes' and 'cucumbers'. These details may be achieved through the combination of materials with different colors and textures, such as red for tomatoes and green for cucumbers, creating a striking color contrast.
• Overall Proportions: While retaining the functional frame of an office chair, the exaggerated hamburger shape softens the seriousness of traditional office furniture, making it more like a usable 'food sculpture'.

Exhibition Information
This series of works is planned to be showcased at relevant exhibitions, with specific dates and locations to be announced on Seletti's or Studio Job's official announcements. Such designs are typically displayed at international design exhibitions and art fairs to attract the attention of design enthusiasts, collectors, and industry media. During exhibitions, the hamburger chair may be presented alongside other works from the Un_Limited Editions series, forming a complete narrative of 'food-themed' furniture.

The Hamburger-Shaped Office Chair transforms fast-food cultural symbols into furniture design, meeting practical needs while humorously exploring the impact of modern consumerism on life, demonstrating the balance between functionality and art in design.
