The Design

About Less is More Chaise

L'inspiration pour cette chaire était un résumé de la pandémie vécue ces dernières années et des leçons apprises. Le design a toujours représenté des aspects sociaux, et de nos jours, un produit doit plus que jamais représenter ces éléments clés comme le confort, l'absence d'excès et la durabilité. La simplicité est souvent le plus difficile à atteindre. Pour être simple il faut éliminer les excès et le superflu et cela pourrait se réaliser dans la vie et aussi sur le design. Le résultat est une chaise minimaliste, élégante et durable.
