info ‘Poetry in motion’—Krusin’s ‘Crossed’ is structure pared down to the minimum. It is constructed from two tubes placed one inside the other and held in place by the PVC seating above and two tension cables below. There are no screws, hinges, guides or constraints of any kind, so the lounger is always moving. The seating position is controlled only by the weight of the user and the position in which they sit. Halfway between a hammock and a deckchair, you can sit up or lie down in the knowledge that all that is holding you there is gravity. Krusin’s enquiring, mathematical mind focuses on construction and material. His designs do not have derivatives, but are the result of distancing himself from traditional uses and historical visual restraints to concentrate on what is suggested to him by the materials he is using, letting the result define the aesthetic.
