Super Form Chair from giant bubbles by Rich Gilbert

SuperFoam Chair, a chair made of foam with giant bubbles by designer Rich Gilbert

I’m currently studying Industrial Design Engineering at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London and recently produced the SuperFoam chair.

SuperFoam is an experiment in trying to create a super-sized foamed structure, in developing a specialized casting process I could design the properties of the foam itself so it flexed and deformed to create the chair structure.

What if we had the power to manipulate nature’s structures? SuperFoam is a re-creation of naturally occurring reticulated foam structures through a casting process that facilitates designing the properties of the foam itself. By developing the casting process the properties of the foam could be controlled so the chair flexed and deformed to create a supportive structure.

workshop on contemporary Bamboo structure at Green school Bali

Budi Pradono together with Budi Feisal and Effan Adhiwira were the master jury of a worksop on contemporary bamboo structure organized by Green Design Community lead by Ronny Tanumihardja held at Green School Bali.

ISSI Villa at Seminyak Bali by Budi Pradono Architects is under construction now.

The campus is great. Green School is striving to have the lowest carbon footprint of any international school anywhere, through use of bamboo and rammed earth for its buildings, growing its own food in its gardens, and plans to generate its own power from the river. Thanks to Chyntia and John Hardy for their green vision
