Seungjin Yang’s Blowing Series: Balloon Furniture Hardened Into Seats With Layer After Layer of Resin

Korean artist Seungjin Yang inflates ordinary balloons, then coats them in successive layers of epoxy resin until the twisted forms become stools, armchairs and sofas that can genuinely take a person’s weight — each piece takes around two weeks. What began with a cheap office-supply balloon and a lamp experiment in 2013 has become a full furniture language, shown this week at PAD London in new colourways. Source: Wallpaper*
