Prince Chair

Prince Chair was originally designed for a competition setting the task of creating a chair for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark. The seat is an allusion of the old paper cutting of H.C Anderson and gives the chair a comforting lightness and softness contrasting the steel framework. The Prince Chair sits cleverly between historical reference and prescient modernity.

Making this chair more that a drawing on paper has challenged modern manufacturing technology using both water-cutting and laser-cutting to perforate the neoprene and felt seat and steel frame. The result is a refreshing alternative to upholstery.
