Product description

The three-legged Nagasaki chair is still Matégot’s best-known piece. The chair is made of perfora-ted metal sheet and features unique details, such as the tiny stirrup that holds the seat and the legs together. The delicately curved perforated steel seat

and back creates a sense of lightness. Today, the chair symbolises 1950s design. In addition to the chair, Gubi are re-launching a matching Naga-saki barstool, also made of perforated metal but with four tubular metal legs.
