Developed as a self-initiated project, the chair explores how standard materials can be used with minimal processing to achieve both structural integrity and visual coherence. The frame is composed of bent stainless steel flat bar, forming a continuous, angular profile that appears both light and stable. Each bend is controlled, giving the chair its measured stance and reclined geometry.

The seat and back are constructed from flat-sided oval tubing, arranged in parallel to create a consistent rhythm. Selected directly from a supplier’s catalogue, the profile is used as-is, reinforcing the project’s reliance on readily available materials. The repetition of these sections creates a sense of openness while keeping the form visually ordered.

Connections are left exposed and contribute to the chair’s industrial character. Barrel nuts and button head bolts articulate each junction, reading as a deliberate detail rather than a concealed necessity. The result is a construction that is both legible and direct, with a raw finish that underscores its material origin.

Variations of the chair include teak slats and an upholstered seat pad, offering alternative material expressions while maintaining the same underlying structure
