In the latest issue of the HYPEBEAST Magazine, the subject of design ingenuity is explored with a compelling idea that through imperfection, comes beauty. In this video we take a look at the complicated labor of sculpting and structuring the Modernica Fiberglass Shell Chair. The process of creating fiberglass-covered resin was developed in 1949, when the concept of plastics was relatively new.

Finally, the press pushes resin where it grips the thousands of fibers, unifying them into a single structure.
