Based Upon the Hara Chair in unique Antique Silver by Based Upon
Ean & Richard Abell, the fraternal team behind the London-based luxury design brand Based Upon are a unique creative partnership. Creating (through a proprietary process they describe as modern-day alchemy) textured works of art from semi-precious resins, coloured lacquers and the world’s leading liquid metals, their pieces have the sublime presence of sculpture.
Exploring patterns found in nature – the fissures in rock, the scales of fish, the ripple of water or the lines on our own hands – their work has the substance of metal but the essence of something lighter, more delicate and organic.The 2002 Hara chair by Giorgio Gurioli for Kundalini was recently ranked by GQ magazine as one of the ‘best 100 things in the world’. Here Ean & Richard apply their ingenious process to create a super-light, textured metal replica of this world-famous piece with stunning effect.
Created exclusively for 20ltd.com, it is available in only 10 editions.
