Ronny Kinuthia

R.K: I want to choose vegetables because they have lived, they have grown and there is something in using their fragility, their vitality in a functional structure that is what I want to evoke. 

Tutor: Why not wood? (instead of aluminium)

R.K: I never considered it because simply i seek to use material as a counter. My inspiration is at first hand the industrial kitchen.

Tutor: There seems to be a gap between the chair that provides a meal and the chair that is an industrial conduct. The industrial kitchen performing repetition and efficiency there is no space for slowness. There is just function where the human-being inside also becomes a mechanical arm. 

R.K: But I don’t want to do a four-butternut-legged chair. The idea is that one chair creates a full meal, so I need the variety. The awkward seating. I don’t want the person seating to always sit on an equally 45cm legged object. I want to work with the instability too, the fact that its ever-changing depending on the harvest. 

Tutor: But you can still do an industrial chair that responds to the idea of a meal, seating can also heighten the experience by conforming the seater.
