Red series, the chair made of blood of Gi-Hyun Kim

Red series, la sedia fatta di sangue di Hyun-Gi Kim | Collater.al

Liters and liters of blood.
Blood that is scary, creates disgust, aversion and fascinates.
It is admired for its power to give life but also take it off.

Gi-Hyun Kim, a Japanese designer, started from his personal experience and created Red Series, a special design object, similar to a bench, reminiscent of the circulatory system.
Its purpose is to experience the meaning of life, the moment of birth.
The chair, in fact, begins to act as our circulatory system when someone sits on it, pumping blood and putting it circulating through the pipes of which it is made.

Disquieting, and a little bit splatter, it’s a metaphor to emphasize how much blood it takes to give life and how to remove it.
