Creating a chair all in wood might seem an easy design task. Find the
right angle for the back. Allow for a seat with a firm roundness. And
then a functional yet aesthetically pleasing construction. But that’s not
enough to render a chair unique yet timeless. Marcel Sigel masters
all of the above, and fully meets the challenge with an iconic twist
to the backrest. Although the ash veneered birch wood is bent at the
ends, the wood seems to flow effortlessly like a strip of cloth. Or rather
a piece of cloth frozen in time. And suddenly there is an expressive
character, a distinguishing uniqueness that renders Still Life familiar yet
innovatively singular. Perfect for public spaces like coffee shops,
bistros… and certainly at home.
“It’s all about exploiting technology to its limits and pushing the
materials to extremes. The final product doesn’t scream for attention;
it’s a simple, ordinary-looking chair, familiar yet unique – and of course
super-comfy!”
