Seat and Shelter

The inspiration behind my seat and shelter was the architect Victor Horta known for his iron stone facade and elaborate interior. Horta was known for his work during the Art Nouveau period 1890 - 1910. Art Nouveau is inspired by natural forms and structures, not only flowers and plants but also the curvilinear lines. My inspired element from nature was a branch, the reason for this choice was due to the endless curves. The seat and shelter is representative of this time period through the curvilinear lines that move around the shelter and the visual curved pattern of the seats. The sheltered spot is not only a decorative element but provides invitation to stop and relax.
