Alu Chair by Atelier Ledure

About the Item

Alu chair by Atelier Ledure Dimensions: W 50 x D 45 x H 50 cm. Materials: aluminium, hand waxed. The ALU chair is part of the collection "There's Something In The Air". Together with the ALU SWING, this duo collection goes in search of what is happening above our heads. This quest can be taken literally via the ALU SWING that hangs in the air. The figurative meaning lies in the materiality, you can see the sky in the reflection of the aluminum. The ALU chair is a result of the search for the combination of elegance and robustness. The chair is a stack of primary elements consisting of beams, planes and cylinders. The aluminum is brushed and waxed by hand, which provides a beautiful reflection. This reflection contributes to the elegant character of the piece. Atelier Ledure is the joint project of designers and makers, father and son, Filip and Victor Ledure. Victor Ledure (1990) is a designer of furniture, sculptures and utensils. He graduated in 2016 as an architect and worked in several renowned architecture practices.
