South Korean designer Kwangho Lee designed a collection called ‘New Armor’ made of bronze.

The collection includes versions of a chair and stool that combine glossy, and matte. More than just furniture, these chairs are works of art that combine geometric, angular, arched and abstract lines. The pieces are mainly bronze. This metal was seen in the designer's copper 'skin' series. True to his ancient inspiration, bronze was chosen as it was the very first alloy invented by humans. His pieces resemble relics from the past that have been restored.

The New Chair

The smallest brief in the discipline. Bent beech, riveted aluminium, forged steel, salvaged timber set in molten aluminum, plywood veneer, flat-pack logic. Chairs that lean into process, into material memory, into sculpture; chairs that refuse the distinction between furniture and object. Argued out one piece at a time — because the chair is where form and function meet most visibly, and most honestly.
