Prater chair

The idea for this stackable chair came while reflecting about  traditional Viennese chairs, here reinterpreted in a contemporary way. It is made of plywood with black phenolic resin glue between the layers, which results in the strong graphic impact when CNC-milled. The rigorous constructive approach leaves the impression as if the chair could at any time be taken apart into flat modular pieces ; and then again, it has the aura of a strong, fully-grown entity.
