The No. 212 chair is one of his simplest of his furniture designs consisting of two tubes that form the front legs, seat, and back rest, and are connected by two crossbars. The seat and backrest have been constructed from bungee cords, called sandows in French, after the founding father of modern bodybuilding, Eugen Sandow.
