cape chairs by nendo

 

 

nendo/ oki sato is the guest of honour at the stockholm furniture fair 2013 where swedish company offecct presents
the first prototypes of  japanese designer's 'cape' chair, with ultra-thin dimensions of legs and a very low overall weight.
its seat shell shape gives the illusion of a cape spread over a frame.

experimentation to obtain a very low weight was made possible by a collaboration between offecct and swedish steel AB
in the development of new steel materials.
