Copenhagen-based designer Jonas Trampedach has created the Sample Chair for VÆRKTØJ 2, an exhibition exploring how tools shape design identity.
The chair exists in two versions—one in aluminium, the other in oak—both sharing identical geometry while demonstrating the versatility of press-forming techniques.
Both seats and backrests are shaped using a workshop press, the focal tool for VÆRKTØJ 2. The design showcases how a single forming process can work across different materials. VÆRKTØJ is an association founded by Frederik Gustav, Jonas Trampedach, Kasper Salto, and Michael Antrobus, with guest exhibitors including Tom Dixon.
STUDIO JONAS TRAMPEDACH
After graduating from the Royal College of Art, Jonas Trampedach (b.1974) established his Copenhagen based design studio in 2010, focusing on products, furniture and lighting.
The studio has a varied approach when working with materials, processes and techniques, to create work that spans from serial production to unique pieces.
Jonas Trampedach´s work is based on clear legible principles, often with a sculptural quality. While the majority of his projects can be defined as industrial design, many of these also tend to incorporate elements of craft.
