I try not to post very often about products. It’s a bit of a mission of mine to have a good mixture of product, graphic, architecture, style and so on but really easy to fall into the product posting cycle. Well, with so many great products available and such beautiful architectural shapes to admire it is hard sticking to my mission.
Today’s weak spot goes to the great VW+BS for the Shell chair. I saw this in the flesh at The Tramshed during London Design Festival 2010 whilst knocking back ale and being an all-round groupie.
“As its name indicates, the shell chair has been designed by looking at how an organism in nature develops its structure. Layer by layer like a tree or a sea shell, and based on a repetitive but adaptable equation, the 4mm wire rods forming the seat, follow the circular rim of the chair. Equally, we wanted the chair to have a very straightforward and welcoming appearance. Symmetry, minimal structure and comfort characterise this outdoor and indoor seat.”
