Design by KiBiSi
Tube chair is developed for the building project 8 House designed by BIG Architects and located in Ørestaden, Copenhagen.
The challenge with Tube Chair was to make a modern wooden chair in an industrialized context. Wooden chairs are often centered on craftsmanship which often makes them high priced. With Tube Chair the craftsmanship is moved from the manufacturing process to the design process and product development. By using a simple wooden “broomstick” along with casted aluminium components a traditional material is given a contemporary expression.
One of the key features of wood is that it ages beautifully and is very durable. If furniture does not take ageing well, it will be thrown away. Making long lasting furniture in design and quality is therefore the best way to produce sustainable furniture.
