The initial design brief:
A chair - more than a chair.
An armchair - more than an armchair.
Polyfunctional.
Comfort in symbiosis with obvious mechanical technique.
When an exposed skeleton is more important than its protective casing.
When construction meets playfulness and changeability.
When sophisticated aesthetic meets rebellious pick-up sticks.
When displaying replaces disguising.
When one chair offers several others.
When wishes can be satisfied.
Our ambition:
To challenge the idea of answering all questions before they were
asked. Creating a multifunctional yet concrete and honest character.
Taking all important rules and regulations into account, proving that
original design can be born inside the box. Aspiring to be so
adaptable and timeless that whatever generic design stream that might
come, this piece would survive it.
And we think we are ABLE.
