each seat is made by ozeri, hand-cut out from a single piece of acrylic sheeting
in the form of an elephant or giraffe. they are then shaped and bent into their final form
through heating.

the prominent features of the elephant (its trunk) and giraffe (the neck),
are used as structural and supporting design elements in ozeri's chair design.

'zelig' was a short-listed entry in the designboom premio vico magistretti competition.
