The office chair has been over-engineered for decades — aerodynamic, adjustable, aggressive in its ergonomic ambition. This one goes the other way. Two broken chairs combined into one, corners refined, unnecessary features removed, the raw material allowed to show itself. The result looks like a prototype — because in a sense it is, a proposal for what an office chair could be if it stopped trying so hard. Suits industrial and minimal home offices with a preference for objects that have some history in them.
Objects in the Derivatives Series are fabricated from reclaimed materials. Subtle surface variations are part of the material’s history and contribute to the individuality of each piece. The following terms describe the visible material character.
Great
Minimal visible surface variation. The material appears clean and refined, either preserving only faint traces of its previous life or presenting a newly applied finish.
Good
Minor surface marks or tonal variations may be visible, reflecting the reclaimed origin of the material.
Fair
Visible surface character including scratches, texture variation, patina, or signs of time from the material’s previous use.
