Story
Industrial legs, artisanal back
The Cyborg catalogue explains that the Cyborg armchair combines an industrial part, four very simple plastic legs that are deliberately non-designed, with an artisanal part, the backrest. In Cyborg Club that backrest is wicker, set on a polycarbonate frame in glossy white.
A backrest that sets the character
In the catalogue's words, it is precisely the backrest that dictates the chair's expressive and aesthetic quality. Cyborg Club dates to 2012 and offers a cushion for the seat.
