‘aki’ series by argentinian designer alfredo häberli for danish furniture manufacturer fredericia has been extended with a new lounge chair based on the same design principles as its predecessing dining chair and table. the new twist in häberli’s design is found in the rotation of the legs, which gives the chair its stability. similar to the dining chair, a narrow piece of wood defines the backbone of the ‘aki’ lounge chair, flanked by soft, comfortable cushions.

‘the idea was to create a unique chair with four legs. of course, there are lots of ways to design that kind of chair, but I wanted to add a little twist. that’s why I moved the legs so that they are positioned at a completely different angle to what we are used to seeing.’ – alfredo häberli
