About the Artist

Chloroplast Chair is a vibrant furniture piece that embodies the essence of plant life and energy. Inspired by the chloroplast’s vital role in photosynthesis, it symbolizes the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. Its defining features include a sleek, green design with smooth, organic curves that reflect the natural flow of energy from sunlight. Originating from the planet Paradise in the Yoomoota universe, Chloroplast Chair is linked to the planet’s green zones, where plants like the chloroplast thrive. On Paradise, these zones are revered as energy hubs, and locals use the chloroplast for both power and life force, embodying the perfect balance between technology and nature.
