Colored Finch

Colored Finch is a chair inspired by the shape of a finch. The backrest appears straight from the front and curves at the sides, combining form and comfort.

The limited use of non-renewable materials in the legs supports environmental care. Sixteen prototypes were built, and a test dummy was used to study seating positions and set the final size. The chair measures 490 mm in width, 550 mm in depth and 810 mm in height.
