ZERO-THICKNESS CHAIR

An almost impossibly transparent and fragile design, the “Zero-Thickness Chair” was created by two Tbilisi-based design studios, XYZ Integrated Architecture and Sandro Lominashvili.

The chair’s breathtaking joinery was achieved by welding steel tubes in position of zero thicknes geometry.

Zero-thickness, also knoun as Non-manifold geometry refers to any edge that is shared by more than two faces. This situation typically arises when a face or edge is extruded but remains in its original position, resulting in two identical edges directly overlapping each other.

This smart constructin creates an impossible chair that seems unable to support any weight but actualy works as a strong seat.
