Description

An exploration in lost foam casting, Primal Chair by Matan Fadida is a sculptural piece that foregrounds materiality. Initially carved from foam, the chair was taken to a local foundry in London to be cast in aluminum. The details retain the cuts and movements made during the initial carving process, preserving evidence of how the chair was crafted. Named Primal due to its simplicity and honest use of materials, the chair was originally conceived to represent the ‘skeleton’ of a chair.

Showcased at Wallpaper* Class of 24 show During Milan Design week 2024.

About Matan Fadida Visit Showroom →

Matan Fadida is a multidisciplinary designer based in London. Originally from New Zealand, Matan began his creative journey by building his own world through product and furniture design. Since relocating to London in 2022, he has continued to refine his practice, working with a diverse range of materials to create a cohesive yet versatile collection. One of the designer's most popular pieces, the Puffer Cushion, embodies soft curves and a plushness, unique to its design. In contrast, his metalwork is rigid and cool to the touch, demonstrating Matan’s range and versatility while maintaining coherence in his honest use of materials. His approach allows the materials to perform as intended, celebrating their natural qualities with simplicity. As a designer, Matan is most interested in continual evolution while staying true to the lineage of work he is laying down. "My creative journey is my medium," he reflects. His ambition was further recognised with his inclusion in Wallpaper* Class of 24: Future Icons, where he exhibited Primal Chair, during Milan Design Week 2024.
