Description

A freely movable piece of seating furniture for the public space, inviting people to use it for individual moments of local recreation. The chair is to be understood as public property and is intended to express trust and appreciation towards the users of the public space. To facilitate regular maintenance, only two screws need to be loosened to separate the individual parts. A central, cast aluminium connector joins the tubes to the seat and back. These are milled from weatherproof Douglas fir.
