“I wanted to try working on a chair that has a simple cross junction of two U-shaped
legs. Then I wanted to put a simple shell on top.
Combining the bending details of the legs and the bottom curve of the shell of this
chair creates such a friendly feeling.
It is common to have a chair with a shell and legs that extend off the shell whereas
this bending detail on Substance gives a fresh quality.
I believe we have successfully produced a sustainable chair”.
