‘wire-chair’ by japanese designer nendo is the follow-up to the ‘cord-chair’, which has 15 mm diameter legs of stainless steel clad in a hyper-thin wood skin. for ‘wire-chair’, nendo has stripped away the wooden skin and has increased the diameter of the steel rods from 9 mm to 12 mm, thus giving the chair structural support independent from the wood. the chair is power coated in multiple layers and hand polished to give it a lustrous finish, reminiscent of traditional japanese lacquerware. the new finish also results in more durability and water resistance, making the chair suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

‘wire-chair’ will be exhibited in nendo’s private exhibition at galleria antonia jannone during milan design week 2010.
