sebastian errazuriz: outline chair


'outline chair” by sebastian errazuriz
walnut wood, tempered glass
31 x 18 x 17 inches



the work of chilean-born new york-based designer sebastian errazuriz, 'outline chairs' return seating design
to its most fundamental roots, 'rescuing the linear drawing of the basic iconic chair' by replacing the back
and seating panes with tempered glass. the clean lines that define the structure of a chair are thus brought into focus,
across the range of styles and models errazuriz has produced.

the series is on exhibition through october 21st, 2011 at cristina grajales gallery in new york.

Sorry, but BOOOORRIINNGGG. Designer should emphasize the "outline" aspect MUCH more. Now this is just chairs with transparent backrest and seat...couldīve done better.

I think you are right Tooma! This is kinda boring. Who hasn't seen a chair without its seating or backing.

on the other hand, Mr. Errazuriz has done some amazing works, this unfortunately misses the mark.
Tooma   08.23.11
Beautiful, elegant and simple. Not every design needs to be crazy or shocking. These are perfectly contained and timeless. I love that Sebastian Errazuriz can create a full range of works.
