'Mashber' (crisis) is a birth chair whose origins are in the bible. It signified danger, pain and death during the passage of the fetus from the womb on its way out, but also heralded a new life. The chair was inspired by a 'Mashber' chair from the Middle Ages with a conceptual thought about breaking it and taking it out of order Use. The idea of refraction has been translated into the breaking of the perspective and the partial compression of the three-dimensionality in it. A chair that should stably support a mother who twists and turns in a warped axis and disturbed. With wavy, sharp and shaky lines it leads to a new way of thinking.
