They were made and designed solely for their function and retained their quality up until today. Ironically these chairs were used in the same factories that ultimately destroyed the values of craftmanship and durability in the course of mass production. This inspired Jesse to design a modern factory chair as an ode to authentic craftsmanship. Kodak is named after the company that ones dominated the photography market with its progressive technology and marketing but by the late 1990 had to fight bankruptcy due to their slow transition towards digitalization.Jesse Sanderson is a self-taught artist with a distinctive signature. He is fascinated by imperfection and allows natural forms to dictate his designs. Raw materials that are affected by weathering and aging tell a story about the origin and history which he aims emphasize wherever possible. By applying traditional craftsmanship and expressing his personal view, he designs intelligent yet simple-hearted objects.
