This chair began as an exploration of line compositions in air and space, how a minimal gesture can define structure and stability.

At its core lies a simple interaction: the backrest leans into the seat, forming a geometric locking mechanism through contact. This meeting point replaces conventional complexity with a quiet logic - stability achieved through alignment rather than addition.

The entire chair is constructed using a consistent 30 mm profile, echoed in the woven textile straps that form the seat and create a clear rhythm.

The materials, white oak and suede textile in a matching tone, minimize contrast and unify the composition, allowing the focus to shift to form, proportion, and the interaction between elements.
