Like that of Barracuda. A design that is inspired by
performance and designed to perform. One that searched
for an answer to a simple question, "What can I do with
neoprene?"
Th e answer, a textbook example of a cantilevered chair,
a dynamic and robust metal structure that combines a
modern and slender sty le. But it does this uniquely, it
does it with mindful appreciation of the question. Take a
performance material that cuts through the engineering
like a razor and add a nimble vision to a powerful and
well engineered structure. Comfortable, elastic and highly
resistant, it may be used by scuba divers, but here, it’s found
a home in high end interior standards.
When others look to detail as an addition, Arketipo
looks to it as a point of strength and subtle elegance.
