Using the processes of scanning and 3D printing, I reproduced a 1:1 scale model of a Thonet N14 chair. I was interested in using this chair because it is a recognizable piece of design that would make the impacts of its technological processing evident.

Through it’s scanning and printing, the original design language of the chair became severely altered. The objects’ new identity acts as a means of addressing the gaps in communication that occur between digital and physical spaces.
