Story
A geometric exercise
The page calls the design the culmination of a sophisticated geometric exercise, and says the chair embodies Klint's systematic approach of using geometry and mathematics to reach ideal shapes, proportions and balance.
Curves and square legs
The main frame and the armrests are shaped by convex and concave curves that echo and mirror each other. The solid wood legs are the contrast: they stay square, and only the back pair slopes gently backwards to carry the slightly reclined profile.
