Story
A cantilever chair in plastic
Vitra says gas injection moulding lets plastic reach the strength and rigidity of cantilevered tubular steel, and that Morrison removed every superfluous detail.
One material
The use of a single material gives EVO-C a cohesive appearance, and its silhouette almost disappears behind the sitter.
