A die-cast aluminium shell made up of many small, perforated and triangular
faces. Chair_One is in a certain sense built like a football, i.e. with a series of flat ele-
ments joined one to the other at angles to create a three-dimensional shape. All this
is achieved by exploiting the potential of die-casting which is a precise technology
allowing complex three-dimensional shapes to be obtained from metal (in this case
aluminium). The result is therefore a chair in which the spaces prevail over the solid
parts to characterise its aesthetic quality. Chair_One has now become a classic of
the future.
