The Illusion of Air: How Artem Ershov Turns Balloons into Hardcore Furniture.
Imagine sitting on a glossy, translucent pink stool that looks like a fragile party balloon but feels as solid as concrete. This is the mind-bending world of Artem Ershov, the designer transforming temporary objects into functional, load-bearing art.
In a world of predictable wood and metal, Ershov creates avant-garde chairs, stools, and tables using nothing but inflated balloons and epoxy resin. By ditching traditional internal frames, he relies entirely on the structural tension of air and the rock-hard curing properties of resin.
Because of this organic fabrication process, no two pieces are identical. Every curve, bubble, and warp is completely unique.
