Description
Overview
The EME Dining chair is an original design by Mario Martínez for GANDIABLASCO. It has a lightweight, welded frame of powder-coated aluminium and a seat hand-woven in 2-2 polyester rope. The backrest is part of the core aluminium structure.
Construction
The frame is powder-coated aluminium with optimum resistance to weathering and oxidation, offered in GANDIABLASCO's complete 15-colour palette. The seat uses 100% high-tenacity natural polyester rope. The chair is assembled with four screws, so the corded seat can be updated or replaced independently over time.
Specifications
- Width 48 cm, depth 47 cm, height 79 cm (19 x 19 x 31 in)
- Weight 4.55 kg (10.1 lb)
- Stackable, four chairs at most
Story
Mario Martínez on the chair
"Unlike a building, the chair directly confronts the body without intermediaries. It is an object we interact with for long periods of time, so any error becomes immediately evident." These are Mario Martínez's words on the page for the EME Dining chair, which presents the design as a contemporary twist on the traditional chair archetype.
A rope seat
The seat is hand-woven 2-2 polyester rope. The page compares its tactile comfort and warmth to traditional Mediterranean wicker, and adds that the surface is flexible and does not absorb extreme heat or cold.
