About the Item

At first glance, the deconstructivist chair stands as a bold departure from convention. Angular defiance characterizes its form, with a square base set at an 60-degree angle, challenging expectations and inviting intrigue. This departure from orthodoxy speaks volumes, hinting at a deeper narrative woven into its design. Design The chair's silhouette defies gravity, anchoring itself in a realm where innovation meets functionality.The seat, an opening within the square frame, defies traditional norms, embracing geometric abstraction as a testament to functional artistry. Here, the back leg emerges, arching gracefully to form both seat and backrest, blurring the lines between structure and comfort. This fusion of form and function heralds an interesting idea of seating design, where boundaries are pushed and possibilities explored.A closer inspection reveals a certain craftsmanship imbued within every facet of the chair. The arc-shaped backleg, serving as both support and focal point, showcases a mortise and tenon connection, a nod to traditional joinery techniques. The choice of wood, with a slender 2cm thickness, adds to the chair's allure, while its light brown hue with anthracite undertones evokes a sense of timeless sophistication. Condition The condition of the chair is very good with only small diffuse scratches.
