Chrono, the Timeless Chair is crafted with the principles of minimal beauty and is a reflection of timeless design. Inspired by the concept of the perpetual flow of time, the chair's name and form capture the essence of this enduring nature. The design process involved a meticulous combination of wood and metal, creating a cohesive and elegant structure. The chair features a C-channel skeleton beneath the seat, with grooves on the wood seats allowing the C-channel to slot in, ensuring high weight capacity and structural integrity. This skeleton is welded to sheet metal, which forms the chair's back, preventing any movement or splaying of the metal. The construction process included cutting, rolling, and bending the metal, followed by welding, grinding, powder coating, veneering, and finally attaching the wood and metal pieces together. The Chrono chair's design, with its organic curves and framework, embodies a minimalist yet intricate aesthetic, designed to stand out in any era?.
