Mass production is causing traditional craftsmanship to disappear. Em ef studio is devoting itself to an object that represents precisely this tradition. A piece of furniture with over 400 years of history, originating in the common society as the first chair with a backrest. The studio is putting it through the filter of a modern technology: 3D printing. It represents accelerated design, digital seriality, and a modern aesthetic. The visible grooves of the print, once a side effect, are consciously designed – as digital fossils, as ornamentation of the fleeting. At the same time, the question remains: Does progress mean increasingly surrendering to machines in order to live faster and more efficiently? Or does the true value lie in the conscious negotiation between craftsmanship and digitalization?
