Clamp Chair Design

As the name suggests, the conceptual starting point was the ‘clamp’ principle, which shapes the chair consistently and determines its character aesthetically, by interlocking the legs, corpus, seat and backrest structurally as well as visually and forms eventually a seamless unity of all elements. Made from a single piece of formed plywood, the upholstered backrest embraces the body of the user like a shell. “My goal for that design project was quite simple and almost trivial; I wanted to design and build a comfortable yet simple wooden chair, which reveals the beauty of the wood material and the skills of the craftsman. A modern wooden chair which articulates comfort and refined proportions, combined with structural details, such as the wooden joints, to emphasize the aesthetical appearance and precision of the chair”.
