Rope Chair
Rope Chair from Artek is more like a silhouette than a massive block, a line drawing translated into three dimensions, a simple artistic gesture rendered in space. Designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, the chair is a synthesis of contrasts: sophisticated engineering and creative expression, solid structure and flexible elements, rigid tubes and flexible rope. Made for marine use, the rope is at the heart of the chair's unexpected comfort; a weight-bearing part of the construction, it allows the chair to adapt to those who use it. Where other chairs dictate a specific way of sitting, the Rope chair invites creativity in posture, encouraging dynamic movement and changes in position.
