ChopChopChair was exhibited during the Dutch Design Week of 2019. Visitors could generate their own chair with a simple action, as many times as they wished. Upon request, a digital chair could be made into a physical object by sending its blueprints to a CNC machine. Each generated chair was one of a kind,  a unique design object. In this process, visitors became the ones to give value and meaning to the outcomes of the script.

We teamed up with Studio WelGeen to developed a script that uses basic shapes to compile compositions on the wooden boards. The script generates endless variations, opening the door for new, unconventional designs. With the rise of creative systems, the traditional role of the designer may evolve from creator to curator. The systems creates, the designer selects. 

This prototype is part of an ongoing research, The Creative Agent Series, which investigates the potential role of (AI) systems in the creative process.
