Provenance
Merel Bekking, 30, graduated from Utrecht School of the Arts with a degree in product design in 2011. She began her own studio in 2012 and is currently based in north Wales in the UK. This beautiful and rare orange swivel chair was designed by Merel Bekking based on a brain scan of a human man. The project, called Your Brain Manufacturing was an extension of Bekking's Brain Manufacturing project, which explored whether designers can use brain analysis to determine what people really like, rather than what their social conditioning leads them to believe they like. "The project started with me wanting to create perfection," Bekking said. "Of course, this is really hard because it is subject to taste and aesthetics and all these hard-to-grasp feelings. So I thought, why not make something that is scientifically proven to be perfect?" This chair is in good condition consistent with age and use.
