About the Work
About the Artist

Lymphochair is an iconic piece that reimagines the classical form of a chair. Inspired by the intricate beauty of biological cells, it symbolizes a vital part of us — the lymphocytes. Designed to balance aesthetic appeal with functional purpose, it transforms the organic form of an immune cell into an experience that is both visually striking and ergonomically refined. The removable backrest reveals a spherical, legged seat. Filled with polyurethane foam and upholstered in wool, it offers lasting comfort, minimal maintenance, and smart temperature adaptation — retaining warmth in the cold and releasing it on warmer days.

Taras Zheltyshev (Taras Yoom) is an international multidisciplinary artist, creator of the immersive art universe Yoomoota, and a participant in major contemporary art exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the United States. His paintings, sculptures, and installations merge the organic and the artificial, exploring human nature and our relationship with the world through the signature style of biomorphic surrealism. Combining contemporary techniques with traditional craftsmanship, he creates a fantastical universe where functional objects become tools for investigating all dimensions of human experience — from physiology to emotional states and the perception of reality.

Zheltyshev began his artistic journey in collectible design, earning recognition from the international design community through awards such as the A’ Design Award, International Design Awards, Good Design Awards, and Elle Decoration. He later developed an independent practice in painting and sculpture, working at the intersection of craftsmanship and technology. His artistic techniques include oil and acrylic painting, lithography, graphite drawing, assemblage, hand modeling, 3D printing, and digital art.

Today, Taras Zheltyshev’s works are held in private collections in Paris, London, Seoul, Belgium, Miami, New York, and Moscow, and have been featured in Forbes, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel, The Art Newspaper, and GQ.
