Beach Chair 
2023
Beach Sand, Sea Water, White Portland Cement
20kg


Beach Chair pairs common casting methods and mediums with sustainable design. It is an attempt to create a free form object using simple casting techniques and locally sourced sustainable materials. The negative of the stool was dug into the sand at a local beach after dark. Sea water is an infinite source and compliments the initial strength of concrete. Although composite reinforcement is a suitable option due to its immunity to rust, it is estimated to take 50 years to decompose and was not suitable for this project. After pouring the cement into the sand mold it was left to cure under the sand at a popular beach in Sydney, Australia. Unlike Previous works the Beach Chair allowed me to create, prototype and experiment with out the guilt of further contributing to landfill. As the cement industry is a large contributor to the worlds pollution further iterations of this design would include sustainable binders and reinforcement.
