Concept
When it comes to snugness, this delicate occasional easy chair is like the most beautiful of flowers. Its body unfolds like a calyx and is made from one single piece. How is that achieved? Imagine it as a sculpture: ‘Simply cut out all that is superfluous’, Jehs + Laub, the designers of the Flint seating furniture, say lightly. In fact, what they have created with their design is the square of the circle: a circular base — optionally on gliders or a rotating plate — that rises up to the rounded square seat surface and then flows to the high backrest. Craftsmanship that is also so comfortable that it would easily knock you off your stool — if it weren’t so stable.
The boundary between the hard shell and the soft core is marked by a circumferential seam. Whichever fabrics, leathers and colours are to be combined to its left and right is left entirely up to the owner of this attractive seating furniture.
