The Design

About Ryo Fotelja

Ryo je fotelja oblikovana kao jedinstvena kontinuirana forma. Talasaste linije protežu se od sedišta do naslona i stvaraju neprekinutu petlju. Dizajn je nastao iz pitanja da li uobičajen komad nameštaja može poprimiti slobodniju formu. Složenu trodimenzionalnu površinu bilo je teško proizvesti, a ostvarena je upotrebom rastegljive tkanine. Fotelja je široka 725 milimetara, duboka 730 milimetara i visoka 800 milimetara. Zakrivljena školjka obavija osobu koja sedi u njoj i dodaje skulpturalni element prostoru.
