This cheeky Light Block Chair is by Danish architect and industrial designer Christian Flindt.

The chairs aren’t in production, and were made for an exhibition.
They’re made of an architectural material I’d never heard of before: Something called HIMACS, which manufacturer LX Hausys says “is composed of minerals, acrylic and natural pigments that…provide a durable, smooth, non-porous and visually seamless surface.” (LX Hausys, by the way, is a spin-off company from LG Chem; they’re Korea’s largest building materials manufacturer.)
“HIMACS is durable, it can be shaped by a thermoforming process, and thanks to its huge colour spectrum and translucent properties can help to achieve outstanding and colourful designs. HIMACS uses a simple heating process to give three-dimensional thermoforming capabilities, allows visually seamless designs, offers a virtually limitless range of colours and – for some shades – exhibits a special translucency when exposed to light.”
“Although HIMACS is almost as robust as stone, it can be worked in a similar way as wood: it can be sawn, routed, drilled or sanded. HIMACS is available in sheets of different dimensions and thicknesses.”
