Light Chair
A lightweight chair conceived as a direct study of structure, weight and handling. A slender metal frame supports a pressed metal seat and back, keeping the construction visible from every side. The object is designed to be moved as naturally as it is used.
The economy of a chair.
A chair is encountered twice: as a place to sit and as an object to move. Light Chair takes both experiences as a starting point. Its open frame and pressed surfaces give the object a direct construction language, with little between the supporting structure and the person using it.
Structure in plain sight
The frame outlines the chair without filling the space around it. Seat and back introduce broader surfaces within that outline, making the distinction between support and contact legible from different sides.
Rather than hiding the construction, the study allows its few parts to establish the object’s character. The silhouette depends on their proportions and the way they meet.
Made to be moved
Handling is part of the design question. The intention is a lightweight chair that can be repositioned as naturally as it is used, recognising the small changes that furniture makes within a room.
The project is an exploration of economy at the scale of an everyday object: enough structure to define a chair, with attention to the space left open around it.
