SUPER-FIT, 2023
SUPER-FIT is an exercise in extreme simplification. How far can material, form and connection be pushed for a chair to still function as a chair?
Taking inspiration from precision engineering tools, a bespoke joint was created with such a tight fit, that it connects with a – very satisfying – *plop*. This allows the chair to be composed of very thin but robust aluminium components that slot into each other elegantly. When taken apart, the pieces can be packed up in a minimum of space, allowing for easy transport and reassembly within minutes. The result is a graceful chair with a structure and a finish that is fully legible from all sides.
