Story
Built for VIA57 West
The chair was developed with Bjarke Ingels Group and KiBiSi to mark the completion of the VIA57 WEST building, which a Fritz Hansen reference case lists as a workspace project in New York finished in 2016.
Scan-American
The concept behind it, in the reference case's words, blends lean Scandinavian design with generous American comfort, and its contours mirror those of the building.
