Spun carbon fibers randomly produce forms Bengtsson describes as ‘natural geometrical shapes’, which are exemplified in the Spun carbon fiber chair. No moulds are used to form the chair’s signature cone shapes. The chair is produced by a fiber tow-on-line impregnated with resin and passed between two rotating discs as it is moved by a 6-axis robot arm. Together the discs spin approximately 50 meters of carbon fiber on the diagonal as the chair travels through the cycles and back again. When finished, the chair is cured in an oven to toughen the fibers. Despite its substantial strength, the finished chair weighs only 1-2 lbs.
