Shell is a project designed for the exhibit 26 Original Fakes at Melbourne Design Week 2017 produced in collaboration with Tom Fereday.
Using a replica HAL chair shell as a sacrificial buck, the piece seeks to highlight what you are left with when purchasing replica design. Disregarding the manufacturer, the collaboration, and the design development, the replica piece leaves you with nothing but a shadow of the iconic form.
The piece is made from cast concrete and stained black.
