all furniture pieces of the ‘d-construction’ collection feature hollow interiors which help to reduce the weight of the final design.

in this version,  the layers on one side of the chair’s armrest seem to fall apart. this creates an unusual shape which runs contrary to the common expectations. even if the armrest is missing, the chair can be used as a normal seating accommodation, however, offering variations on different leaning positions.
