Retrieving specimen
Xeno Arm Chair takes the vertebral unit of Exochronos and releases it from the straight spine. Two ribbons of segments leave the crest, twist past one another, and loop outward to become armrests and ground runners in a single unbroken path.
Where Exochronos stacks, Xeno coils. Each ribbon returns to the seat plate exactly once, so every apparent limb is a section through the same pair of loops rather than a separate part.
The seat is the only quiet surface in the piece: a plain polished plate held in tension between the crossing ribbons, with no segment permitted to interrupt the sitting plane.
The segments thicken through the load-bearing lower loops and thin as they climb, so the chair reads heavier at the floor than at the crest — the load curve made visible, as elsewhere in the archive.
To be presented at Design Democracy 2026, Hyderabad, this September, alongside Exochronos, Chronos Chair, and Xenochronos Table.
Twin terminal fans that receive the shoulders, mirroring one another across the sitter's spine.
Two continuous segmented loops forming back, arms, and runners; each is one closed path from crest to floor and back.
A single polished plate suspended where the ribbons cross; the only unsegmented surface in the piece.
