The back of this chair is made with a pretension: The rods have a far more out-going shape until the nonstretch-textile is mounted. Hereby they pull and stretch out the textile – like a sail filled with wind.
This construction allows for the back to be very resilient and take its shape from the sitting person.
The special mounting-detail of the back to the main-frame, makes it possible to mount the back-textile and the small slit in the upper-end of the steel-rod holds the textile up in place.
The seat-textile is pulled out by the “too-long” transversal construction between the fore-legs.
The small and extremely light chair is incredible comfortable and leads the thoughts to insects, with their agile strength, grace and shiny colors.
