About the Item
The Kaïdo lounge chair designed by Hong Kong born Kwok Hoï Chan is inspired from a fictional alphabet borrowed from Chinese calligraphy. Hoï Chan emigrated to Europe where in France he paired up with the Parisian manufacturer Steiner, whom he designed the Kaïdo series with.
The Kaïdo is a very rare design, with this pair of lounge chairs being no exception. The set has soft and sensual forms flowing through the structures, with the lower back support of the chair making for exceptionally comfortable lounging.
Recently reupholstered in a cream alpaca and long pile mohair by Pierre Frey.

Kwok Hoi Chan
Kwok Hoi Chan was an emblematic figure of international design who emigrated from Hong Kong to England and France. In France, he paired up with the Parisian manufacturer Steiner. Even though Chan was deeply invested in European and international design, he has always stayed loyal to his Chinese origins. His furniture resembles an imaginary alphabet borrowed from Chinese calligraphy. His trademark is a suspended tubular frame which is combined with an organic shaped seating.
