FLOAT is a dining chair, with an open back giving a gentle flexibility and comfort.
The design and functionality make FLOAT suitable in several room types and settings including restaurants as it is stackable by four.
A simple and gently curved steel tube frame carries the wood seat and backrest.
Hard and soft, cold and warm meets in both design and material to create the balance. FLOAT chair comes in a natural oak or black ash veneer seat and backrest on a steel frame with a black structural powder coating.
FLOAT is the first furniture design realized in a design collaboration between the two designers, Lars Vejen and Taijiro Ishiko.
