Russian artist and designer Oleg Soroko of After Form created Scate Chair as one of his “Parametric Furniture” collection using parametric design tools and complex algorithms in the Rhino3D and Grasshopper3D software. Scate chair is the first object from Parametric furniture collection made by Oleg Soroko in 2014.
The chair was first point for Oleg Soroko in a long journey to the procedural forms exploration which is still in process. During form finding via generative shape modification he found this clear image of scate and convert it into sculpture/furniture object.
The form of Scate Chair itself is very close to parametrism idea flowing shapes surfaces and curves. As the Russian designer stated this chair is not a regural arm chair and it is more like dominant symbolic object like a tron. The chair object it is comfortable for one or two persons. It is made from birch plywood, cuted by CNC machine and combined with metal bars isnside with separators between sections.
