The High Museum of Art in Atlanta has acquired INDUSTRY designer Mathias Bengtsson’s “Plywood Slice Chair.” Known for his cutting-edge designs made of industrial and high-tech materials, Bengtsson constructed the chair from an assemblage of horizontal cross-sections that stack together into a uniquely lateral profile. Laser-cut to a thickness of only 3mm, each individual layer resembles a two-dimensional abstraction more than it does a hi-tech component. The limited edition chair is also produced in aluminum.
