Story
Built to be taken apart
Fredericia credits the Plan Armchair to Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby and dates it 2024. The sheet text says each part is ready to be taken apart at end of use and repaired later, so the chair is designed to last in a circular economy.
Steel and soft curves
Its closing line sets industrial elements against soft humanistic curves. It is the upholstered armchair in the Plan Collection on Fredericia's site.
