HIDDEN CHAIRS

ANAMORPHIC ARMCHAIRS
LIMITED EDITION
BEECH PLYWOOD, BRASS
L60 X P60 X H100 CM

IBRIDE ÉDITION (F) 2013

Our collection draws inspiration from three iconic armchairs: the Shaker, the chair designed by Otto Wagner for Thonet, and the traditional chinese armchair.
All three of the above will play the game of Hidden Chairs.

We have deconstructed their emblematic image with a three-dimensional play on optical illusions.

Walking around the chairs leads to a fantastic revelation. An abstract, almost calligraphic language occupies the space. This other chair, hidden within the first, steps freely out of the shadows.
Through the process of anamorphosis, just one point of view will restore their original image.

just one point of view will restore their original image.

Hidden Wagner is a reference to the famous chair designed by Otto Wagner, published by Thonet at the start of the 20th century.

The Shaker armchair is recognised as a source of inspiration for the modernist movement of the 20th century.
The simplicity of its figure is transformed into a series of intertwining waves.
