Project description

The desire was to design a clear chair whose construction and cover are one, without designing a new material. No hidden technique but a chair showing of what it is made and how it functions.

The steel used possesses a high stretch limit. This means that the shape of the steel does not change when one sits on it. Wool felt is fixed around the steel. The shape of the chair adjusts to the person sitting on it thus contributing to a higher comfort.

Materials: Steel, woolfelt
Weight: ± 18 kg
Weight for freight: ± 30 kg
Colors: Green, Red, White
Max. weight: The chair can carry 150 kg, this bends the seat 128 mm.
