THEME ON
STEEL FURNITURE

THEME:

“Yet another chair”

Why design yet another chair? Every year hundreds of new chairs appear
on the market. It never ceases it amaze me the endless creativity in chair
design. Manufacturers propose their latest creations, each one like a new
hero. Chairs are without doubt one of the most expressive industrially
manufactured products. However that time goes buy, few of these heroes
continue in production.
A lucky few become timeless masterpieces. The reason for this is more
often than not because they have defined the use of a specific technology
in a combination with function and poetry in a perfect balance.
The project is for each participant to design their own interpretation of a
sitting arrangement, with steel. This can be a new design, using steel
combined with other materials.
The furniture need to be a catalyst of human senses. We believe that
furniture should be casual, simple, minimal, soft but precise.
