The Split Chair is a reinterpretation of classical tubular steel furniture based on modern technologies. Through the combination between high-tech and low-tech, the latest 3D laser technology and traditional tube bending, a construction has been created that combines simplicity and material efficiency, in a poetic manner. The frame made of powder-coated steel tube and the seat made of felt padded, sturdy saddle leather make the stackable chair comfortable and sturdy.
