Furniture designer Marco Segovia challenges traditional craftsmanship through his Atypical Chair, which incorporates overlooked urban materials like tires, plastic crates, and cement blocks. Instead of adhering to typical recycled designs, Segovia's work embraces the raw, imperfect characteristics of its components, celebrating their stories and origins. This approach diverges from ergonomic conventions, prioritizing visual storytelling and resourcefulness instead, presenting furniture that feels more like a collage of urban leftovers, while emphasizing the importance of reimagining waste in design.
The Atypical Chair by Marco Segovia exemplifies a radical design approach, reimagining discarded urban materials into functional furniture, celebrating their histories rather than concealing them.
This chair uses components like tires and cement blocks in unconventional ways, blurring the lines between furniture design and urban waste, creating a narrative in every piece.
Instead of adhering to traditional craftsmanship, Segovia’s design brings a rebellious spirit to furniture, showcasing rough edges and histories of materials often disregarded.
While the Atypical Chair prioritizes visual storytelling over ergonomic support, it delivers a unique charm, turning discarded objects into a thoughtful fresco of urban life.
