Soba – Salone Satellite 2009
The most important new piece I presented at the Salone Satellite is Soba a stacking chair with armrests. The frame is constructed from steel rod which has been powder-coated. The seat and backrest are made from taut PVC strings which create a three-dimensional seat-shell. Soba can be used indoors as well as outdoors.
The fine structure and very open net contribute to an air of transparency and lightness while offering the comfort of an upholstered chair. Everyone who tried the chair at fair agreed that it is comfortable indeed – and this I am very happy about since I could verify my theory only once the chair was ready – just a few days before the fair started.
