sorry i can't be more helpful!

^^^I looked up glassine paper because of that chair...

"Glassine paper is a supercalendered paper manufactured principally from chemical wood pulps which have been beaten to secure a high degree of stock hydration. Glassine paper is grease resistant, has a high resistance to the passage of air, and is almost impervious to the passage of water vapor. "

I dont think the material is neccesarily(sp?) super strong, but the honeycomb would distribute the weight. Kinda like a bed of nails, or walking on a dozen eggs. Good conceptually but in actual use (in a home etc...) may be problematic, because we know nobody sits still all the time.

^ good explanation. I spoke w/ jameson about the chair, and he basically said the same thing...

travolta · 17-08-2005

funtimepartyteam, i wonder if this concept/ material/ similar process etc could be a applied to an object OTHER than a chair. like a bookcase or something that is meant to be ready to assemble. something which makes use of it's 'fragile' properities. i'm thinking about the architect shigeru ban who uses cardboard ....

Well I think it might be nice to use it as a pendant lamp. You could change the material to a thin sheet plastic (pp maybe?) and heat weld them together to get the same type of collapseable design, something like this:

maybe...

Ill think of something else too, just give me a couple min.

travolta · 19-08-2005

hm. did you ever see those flowery plastic cups i made for exhibit class? I took plastic folders, cut them up... I forgot if they were PEG or PTEG...and heat sealed them closed. it worked fairly well, but for long term use it would need to be more water resistent. any hoo, i wish i had a bunch of plastic and that heat sealer contraption to experiement....

what about a hand bag? i guess we are going into origami territory...

Great idea, but wouldn't this leak though?

Never mind, I guess it won't since it has rubber inside.

I am loving this thread.
