Appreciation towards PHILLIPP ADUATZ for providing the following description:

Philipp Aduatz´ intention in the design of the Melting Chairis to capture a transienttransformation
within a sculptural object.TheMelting Chair, which is suitable for use,is carefully crafted to appear
to the viewer either as a solid chair melting away or as a solidification of a liquid melt.
Usually, materials can be observed in certain aggregate phases: they can be solid, fluid or
gaseous, but not at the same time. Only during phase transitions the borders between these
phases become blurred.This moment of change seems utterly fragile and filled with fascinating
possibilities at the same time. Aduatz main goal in the design of the Melting Chair was to hold on
to this fleetingmomentand phrase his fascination for it into a usable object.
To create a realistic illusion,Aduatz studied the solidification of fluids as well as the melting of
solids with modern 3D animation software.With this background, he designed the surface of the
object downto the smallest detail – like an architect plans a huge skyscraper. Through form
studies with CNC milled polystyrene models and rapid prototyping he ensured a perfect
geometry. The final object is made out of a fiberglass reinforced polymer, a light and strong
composite material that is very durable. The surface is coated with a special mirror coating for a
metallic appearance. A special clear lacquer is used to protect the mirror coating from aging and
makes the surface of the Melting Chair scratch resistant.

这是一款呈现熔化状态一瞬间的固态椅子。来自Phillpp Aduatz。一些材料有几种不同的呈现状
态，固体，液体或者是气体，但这些状态不能同时出现，必须相互转变，在这转变的一霎，是如此
迷人。而Phillpp Aduatz就迷恋这一时刻性。于是他再三维模型中对这种状态展开了研究，并推
敲至表面最细微的细节，就如同建筑师设计大厦一样。通过数控模型的快速原型切割进行研究，创
造出完美的几何形。最终椅子采用的是玻璃纤维增强复合材料，非常耐用。表面涂有一个特殊的镜
面镀膜。刷上一层保护镜面镀膜并防止其老化的清漆。这款熔化椅子边完美诞生了。
