HOUDINI chair

Presented: Salone del Mobile 2009, Milan | Year of design: 2009 | Design: Stefan Diez

Home furniture › Seating furniture › chairs

In his search for an ergonomic, organic seating shell without involving expensive tooling Stefan Diez was inspired to apply techniques used for the construction of wooden gliders and airplanes. The result is an original silhouette, couture inspired construction and colour palette including neon red that have since made HOUDINI a design classic, and an identifiable icon for e15.
