Reader Submitted: The Sinking Chair
The Sinking Chair—a striking fusion of modern design and haunting symbolism—appears to descend into a pool of vivid red, evoking both unease and introspection. Inspired by Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and crafted from 3D-printed concrete, it explores the lingering impact of trauma, history, and political turmoil. With its stark architectural form clashing against fluid resin, the piece challenges perceptions of memory, fragility, and resilience. More than just a chair, it is a statement—urging us to confront the past, engage with the present, and question the future of design's role in human experience.
