DENT
O4i 2013 - 2015
With our Dent chair we showed as early as
2013 that it’s possible to create a 3D shape out
of standard veneer. Dent made the impossible
possible while simultaneously challenging the
idea of what is elegant and beautiful.
People probably want to hear that Dent was
created on a piece of paper that was crumpled
up and thrown away – only to be miraculously
rediscovered and rescued. That would have been
a fantastic story! But the truth is that the creation
of Dent involved intense work to tame a hard, flat
surface into a double-curved seat shell, carefully
and comfortably formed to the contours of the
body. And we succeeded! Despite its buckled
seat Dent is a comfortable chair whose surface
has many positive characteristics.
Dent is now a large family with a variety of seat
surfaces in wood and upholstered versions, and
a number of different chassis. The latest additions
to the family are the bar stools, developed for
an interior design project, which are now being
shown for the first time at a trade fair.
