The Resourcer Armchair is a Brussels-designed piece by Thomas Serruys in which the frame and the cushion are made in deliberate contrast to each other and kept deliberately separable. The frame is forged steel, galvanized, and free-cut. Each hammer mark in the forging remains visible in the finished piece, so the surface records the process of making rather than presenting a finished, uniform result.

The cushion is made from coconut fiber and has a central circular void. It attaches to the frame magnetically, which means it can be removed, repositioned, or swapped out rather than being fixed permanently. Serruys describes the design as an exploration of the threshold between industrial severity and bodily comfort, and the magnetic attachment keeps that threshold active in use: the cushion is not built into the chair, it is placed on it.

The visible hammer marks and the organic form of the cushion read against each other in a way that is consistent with Serruys's broader practice. His work draws on a self-directed study of 20th-century design and selects materials for how they age rather than how they appear when new. The forged galvanized steel will develop a surface character over time; the coconut cushion will compress and change with use. Both are chosen for endurance rather than finish.
