A chair for many uses

The page describes a surprisingly minimal footprint and generous comfort, and names hospitality and office applications as well as everyday living. It adds that the chair is sturdy and tested for extreme public use.

Circular by design

Fredericia states that the chair has separate, interchangeable components that can be renewed, or sorted and recycled anywhere in the world after unexpected damage. It describes the result as a balance of industrial elements and soft humanistic curves, in its materiality, tactility and crafted details.
