Chair by Joe Tsao
@zaxarovcom
Jun 15, 2020

Chair is a minimalist chair created by Los Angeles-based designer Joseph Tsao.

The idea of Chair resides in its construction: two squarely vertical panels from which the seat and backrest gently displace the brutal architecture with its slight concavity, like sheets of paper descending between two towers. A simple beam underneath the seat completes the construction, reinforcing the structure while also providing a place to grab the chair from underneath.

The chair represents the most sacred meeting of form and function. From offices to dining tables, lounging to working, chairs are ubiquitous pieces of design. In the words of the late David Bowie “Why bother choosing a certain chair? Because that chair says something about you.”
