Story
Little space, no loss of comfort
The page says the duo wanted a chair that takes up as little space as possible when not in use without compromising comfort.
Joints shown, not hidden
They set out to highlight what other designers often seek to hide, and the page names visible joints, brass fittings and accomplished craftsmanship in the deceptively simple design.
