Japan /Tokyo
a really light chair, casted resin and sponge foam layer.
prototyping phase and self production at the moment...


"I made a diet chair" comes from a trick in my mind. Do you recall the Superleggera from Gio Ponti in the 60's? I tried to make a chair that could be lighter... I always try to deal with feelings when I design a product and this time I tried to get the thinnest and lightest chair. Thinnest: can I seat on such a thin chair? Lightest: will it still stand, even if I seat on it? Is it comfortable enough, even being so light, so straight? This black layer, what is this material? Is it sponge? Is it foam?
