'mesh' chairs

british designer tom dixon's new 'mesh' chair for italian furniture manufacturer magis
is made from two tooling processes: the pressing of metal mesh for the seat,
and aluminum extrusion for the frame. 'mesh' aspires to be almost invisible,
with its semi-transparent structure. its visual lightness and delicate curves make it a seat
ideal for both the domestic and professional environment.
'mesh' was presented at the milan fairgrounds during design week 2010.
