German Jan von Borstel, based in Hamburg and London, is a designer, artist and consultant. Exhibiting graceful forms and simplicity with efficiency, von Borstel’s installations and products are examples of modernism in art and design. One such example is the evolution of 7 Chairs – a feature of his Snow White installation in London.
Made from laser-cut sheet metal, which is then bent and dipped in glossy white PVC, the chairs together represent the smooth metamorphosis from a relaxed lounge chair to an upright kitchen chair, which includes changes in seating height and backrest angle.
