Magnet Chair by Arnaud Gauthier

Magnet is a chair in kit whose specificity is the attachment system of the seat thanks to magnets inserted in the solid ash structure.

This system has been designed to allow the chair to be offered in packaging sold flat. The elements of the structure are assembled thanks to trunnion interlockings reinforced by the presence of strong magnets.

Once assembled, we come to fix the steel claw by magnetizing it to the structure, which allows it to take the curved shape.

Kelly Seating Family by Claesson Koivisto Rune for Tacchini

Inspired by the block colours and simple shapes found in the work of American minimalist artist Ellsworth Kelly, Claesson Koivisto Rune has upholstered the pair of padded Kelly chairs in vivid tones. The rounded seat and back of the first chair appear to be formed from one section that is pinched at the place where they join. A giant square back with rounded corners and a rectangular seat of the same width make up the larger chair. Designed for Italian furniture brand Tacchini, both models have thin metal legs and bracing that look like they rest lightly against each other. The legs of the bigger chair are stabilised with two crossed rods at the back, while the smaller seat has a single bar that spans beneath the seat to join the secondary struts on each side.
