Story
Geometry with generosity
Anastassiades reduced the chair to a small set of elements but wanted it to retain what he calls generosity of spirit. Herman Miller describes the design through round curves, circle seats, and right-angle frames.
Two forms
The armless chair is the narrower version; the armed chair expands the seat and adds a continuous curved support. Both forms retain the circular seat and solid wood frame.
