drill design: beetle chair

drill design: beetle chair



'beetle' chair by tokyo-based drill design, is a japanese folk re-interpretation of the
british windsor chair.

the materials and assembly of the piece are simple. chair parts are machine cut from
glu-lam or plywood whets which fit together in a simple manner. the result is a small chair
whose core concept is expressed through the curved ribs which form the seat back.
'beetle' will be presented at milan design week 2010.
