Time
The art of origami is the source of inspiration for the design of the Time armchair. Here too a flat material is transformed into a three-dimensional shell. With the help of a die-cutting process, individual pieces of wood or composite material are fashioned in such a way that they fit together seamlessly to create a figure-hugging seat, which is flexible and sturdy thanks to leading-edge technologies borrowed from snowboard manufacturing. A cushion makes it even more comfortable without compromising the carefully considered ergonomic properties.
Statement by the Jury
Thanks to the use of innovative technologies, the design of this armchair skilfully reconciles sophisticated contouring with a high degree of comfort.
