Unexpected collaboration: Cappellini, Disney & Dror do the Tron Armchair
Posted in: Uncategorized
Speaking of Tron, an unusual collaboration between Disney and Cappellini has yielded the Tron Armchair, designed by NYC-based Dror Benshetrit. The chair will make its official public debut in just a few hours, at Design Miami/Art Basel.
Dror’s mission is to articulate the complex meaning of objects in the simplest of ways. Their uses become a part of their narratives, expressed in transformations that are both metaphorical and literal. Raw Data forms a jagged and angular landscape, serving as a muse for a chair that is comprised of intersecting layers and textures of ‘digital’ rock. Constructed of composite material consisting of impregnated fiberglass with polyester resin processed with manual layering, these Special Production Walt Disney Signature TRON Armchairs invite you to “sit off the grid.”
Hit the jump to see some of the funky limited-edition paintjobs the chair will get.
