‘cast chair’ by tom dixon images courtesy of tom dixon
british designer tom dixon has created ‘cast chair’, a simple form modeled after the archetypal form. industrial in appearance, the chair features cast iron legs that are bolted into the thick slabs of black foam which compose the seat and back rest. constructed from a series of individual components, the object is easily broken down which allows it to be shipped in a small package. the chair was presented during milan design week 2011.

Cool! but it s an old idea! 1971 Enzo Mari did the Box chair, each piece fit under the sit!
has definitely a touch of 80’s. even the front and side pictures look as if they were taken with a camera of this era 🙂
it really depends on the combination of colors and material.
I like the idea, but somehow it looks realy old fashioned!
