Wedge Chair
2018
The Wedge Chair mixes visual simplicity with an involved
technique: to achieve the angle silhouette that echoes the
physicality of a sprinter at the starting blocks, the chair is
supported by a pair of back legs that lean at 70 degrees, in
contrast to the simple vertical lines at the front. The backrest
is a key architectural aspect – cantilevered and supported by
thin wooden armrests sculpted to be wider at the front for
function and tapered away to as little as possible behind. The
construction is more complicated than the shape appears –
to achieve the elements of negative space and lightness
we wanted, we embedded a steel support in the armrest
and backrest.
