LOOP Furniture Series by andblack design studio

Blending computational design and artful craftsmanship

https://arcfly.net/loop-furniture-series-by-andblack.../

Inspired by the idea of ‘a single surface made in a single material,’ the LOOP series uses doubly curved surfaces to achieve structural stability, organic aesthetics, and ergonomic functionality. The design approach emphasizes creating dynamic yet balanced forms, where the visual flow and functional performance stem from a unified idea. The series challenges traditional perceptions of furniture-making by replacing multi-element compositions with seamless surfaces that loop into self-supporting forms.

From this perspective, vernacular architecture can be seen as an original “natural prototype”, which is a natural form that spontaneously grows from the land over time.
