Transparent es una silla fabricada con tecnología de impresión 3D. El cuerpo de plexiglás esmerilado presenta una forma redondeada, una superficie curva y suave y una textura firme. La base circular aporta estabilidad, mientras que la curvatura del asiento y del respaldo sostiene la columna durante el descanso. La silla individual mide 900 mm por 900 mm por 850 mm. El centro hueco puede utilizarse para guardar objetos pequeños. El diseño sigue la idea zen de la sencillez y el vacío presente en la tradición oriental.
