Chair_One Public Seating System 2

COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

Details

Chair_One is a truly unique seat. The shell is a structure of flat geometric shapes that join up around the edges, like a soccer ball. The shape was the fruit of lengthy preparatory studies, using sketches, cardboard models and prototypes before moving on to production in die-cast aluminium. The chair comes in a choice of finishes: it may be polished for truly durable brilliance, treated with sputtered, fluorinated titanium, or painted for outdoor use. It is available in two versions: a stackable chair with aluminium profile legs, which may be polished, anodised or painted, to meet any needs for home, contract or outdoor settings; or a fixed or swivel chair with a cement base painted transparent that enhances its pleasingly rough texture, typical of contemporary art and architecture. Year: 2006.
