More like a silhouette than a solid block, the Rope Chair is 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, stiff tubes and pliable 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.‎ When the sitter rises, the chair’s frame bears the traces of the body it last supported, the imprint of a user who co-defines its shape.‎ Rope Chair is available in two versions: Rope Chair - Black Frame: steel, black powder coating Seat: ash veneer, black lacquer Back and armrests: polyester rope, black Rope Chair - Light grey Frame: steel, light grey powder coating Seat: ash veneer, light grey lacquer Back and armrests: flax rope, natural
