Icila Chair
Design Cecile Planchais, France
Lire ce texte en françaisThis sleek, contemporary chair looks like the perfect accessory for the modern home but is in fact made to withstand the abuses of public spaces. Reminiscent of the Japanese art of origami, Icila is made from a single sheet of steel, cut and folded, without welds. The extra wide seat offers a comfortable position and leaves space on either side to pose a drink, put down a bag, make room for a friend. The supple steel frame has a spring like affect which is amplified when placed on a hard surface. The solid weight and stability are a suprising paradox to the slim, elegant profile.
Icila has been created using a bare minimum of industrial interventions. Cut and folded from a single sheet of steel there is virtually no wasted material. Using the latest eco-technology the surface treatment and brilliant palette of paper white, black graphite, orange-red and varnished natural steel are produced from a vegetable base and permit both longevity and little environmental impact.
