The Art of Constraint: Four Chairs in Eight Days 

by Oskar Nilsson

This series of four wooden chairs represents a journey through constraint and creativity. Built within a tight timeframe of two workdays per chair, each piece reflects a unique design born from the necessity to act swiftly and decisively. The limited amount of wood and the pressure of a ticking clock pushed the boundaries of conventional craftsmanship, resulting in four distinct designs. This project celebrates the art of making do with what is at hand, showcasing the beauty that can emerge from restrictions and the freedom found in embracing imperfection and immediacy.
