Passage,
by Ronan Bouroullec
Passage as a concept is highly ambiguous and versatile
and can be used to describe numerous actions and
situations. Passage relates to movement, it describes
passing or movement from one place to another, in
relation to travel, literature or music.
The Passage chair has any number of uses; it can
seamlessly pass from one situation to another, from
one place to another, from one use to another... It can
be placed indoors or outdoors, displayed in a public
place or kept in the comfort of home, in an urban
environment or in the country.
Passage is made of aluminium, because this light,
resistant material best represents the changing nature
of the chair. As well as being recycled and recyclable,
it is highly durable, whatever its use, which greatly
reduces the carbon footprint left by its manufacture.
Two important parts create the PASSAGE aluminium
chair’s unpretentious structure: firstly, a very simple
tubular structure, which then supports the backrest
and seat, manufactured as a single piece of extruded
aluminium. The lightness and flexibility of the seat
finishes give the object its unique capacity for
adaptation.
