Although it takes its inspiration from the classic Safari Chair, Twain, the armchair by Konstantin Grcic, also available in a version created in collaboration with Hella Jongerius, takes its design a step further to become a study in sustainability.
Elegant, practical and eco-friendly, Twain brings together a mix of natural materials: wood, leather and fabric. The structìure consists of a frame in natural or black interlocking spindles in solid beech, held in tension by a strap and ratchet. The armrests consist of two strips of leather. The textile part consists of a seat and backrest in self-supporting fabric, with seat cushion and backrest cover in removable fabric and, finally, for the version made with Hella Jongerius, a draped cover in two unique patterns designed by her specifically for this project. To ensure maximum comfort, moreover, the backrest is attached to the frame in such a way that it tilts with the movement of the sitter. For a chair that offers a feeling of freedom and pure comfort.
