Presented at SaloneSatellite 2017, Lawless Chair is a celebration of irregularity within a system: Evan Fay stated “I pursued a more critical and artful form that responds to the chaotic landscape within our structured society. The punk aesthetic within the chair conceptually furnishes a poetic moment to reflect and express through design, an attitude towards our hectically evolving environments and contemporary dilemmas.” Taking ownership of truthful possessions, finding comfort in dystopia, and beauty in chaos may be a confronting reality, and opportunity to embrace new expressions in design.

Evan Fay is an American designer from Traverse City, MI. He received a BFA in 2014 from Kendall College of Art and Design studying furniture design, and an MFA in 2016 from the 3D design department at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Fay’s studio practice/workshop are based in Detroit, Michigan.
