Background
Moving towards the 50s style, the chair features less and less the traditional sturdiness of the Reconstruction period and is aiming at elegance with subtle and light lines.
This chair is thought for any type of interior, targetting more and more to individuals to fit their private space such as living rooms and dining room.
This chair is also considered to offer a comfortable sitting with a larger seat.
A few considerations from Jacques Hitier’s mind:
- Style simple, sustainable and elegant to appeal to individuals more and more interested in designing their interior
- Comfortable furniture – equally important as the style
- Cost-saving materials for production
