ZAP-GAP CHAIR by Dirk Marwig (Plywood and Cable Tie Chair with plexi-glass inlay, deconstructed preview Nov. 28th 2015)

I usually do not make furniture but this was a kind of test for me. In this preview pic you can see the deconstructed version of my new “ZAP-GAP”chair held together only with the help of 48 cable ties. Rock solid to sit on and comfortable(This was my 3rd and final attempt!) -The components slide into each other perfectly – the cable ties are the substitute for the “glue”, meaning: “keeping the chair together”. With this experiment I wanted to know if it is really possible to make my “GAP CHAIR”(It has a Gap) only with the help of cable ties, hence “ZAP-GAP”. -Yes, it works. Now I just have to sand and ‘treat’ the plywood and and after that connect all components(again!), then photograph it.
