The brief to design an upholstered dining chair with a competitive price was not an easy one after a break of furniture launches for Tom Dixon. Long sketch sessions resulted in a two cushion solution with oversized proportions. Most of the work was done directly with prototypes at the factory, refining the shapes and comfort step by step.

The final upholstered chair range is designed to hug the body and allows for multiple sitting positions. Available as a dining chair, bar stool and lounge chair, the extreme simplicity of the components is a testament to ‘form following function’, whilst maintaining a humorous silhouette and a reduced aesthetic. Fat is made from moulded foam with a metal leg launching in high gloss black lacquer.
