Description
Developed in collaboration with Erik LeBrun of Agile Fabrication, the Detention Dining Set extends Chains’ study of sustainable craftwork into the domestic environment. Designed in 2023 as part of the Chains Cut collection, the project explores flexible, low-impact living through modular furniture built to assemble and disassemble without tools.
Each component is constructed from FSC-certified birch plywood manufactured with formaldehyde-free, low-VOC soy-based adhesive and sealed with VOC-free Tung Oil. Textiles feature hand-sewn artwork by Chains, cut from reclaimed clothing and deadstock fabric using Mennonite quilting techniques. All sewing is performed without machinery, using found thread and ribbons.
The set can be flat-packed, shipped globally by ground, and stored within a 6-foot shipping container. Every edition includes a transparent materials ledger detailing production sources, finishes, and labor. Additional sets may be made to order with a three-month lead time.
