The Dutch UNStudio architects recently launched their first chair design, called MYchair. The chairs are upholstered in two colours and were created for the German Walter Knoll company.
The architectural approach to furniture is different from that of the industrial designer: the architect begins with the space and the environment that the chair will become a part of.
Designer-architect Ben van Berkel refers to the capacity of three-dimensional objects to produce many different impressions when seen from different angles. These multiple views result in a kaleidoscopic experience, achieved in the MYchair by the arrangement of the soft elements, the inward and outward curves of the chrome frame and the duo-tones of the upholstering.
The name MYchair reflects its potential to appropriate, adapt, use and customize the chair in many ways, which contribute to the idea of really making it one’s own.
Size: H 800mm, D 755mm, W 865 mm Materials: Chromed steel bar frame, foam seat upholstered with Trevira and Kvadrat fabrics or Walter Knoll leather.
