Pipe Armchair by Jasper Morrison

Pipe Armchair by Jasper Morrison

Designed for Magis in 2008

The Pipe Chair has an aluminium structure and an option of an aluminium seat and back with holes for outdoor use or high-pressure resinated plywood for indoors or light outdoor use. There’s an armchair and a normal chair version. The tooling for the chair is remarkable, with a variety of state-of-the-art bending machines controlling the tubes’ 3-D profiles. It’s beautifully made and probably one of the strongest chairs ever built as I chose a large-diameter tube and the structure (especially the armchair) is very rigid. It stacks like a French café chair on the X under the seat, allowing four or five in a stack before it gets too high.

Filla Chair by Michele de Lucchi

Filla Chair by Michele de Lucchi

Filla stands for chlorophyll in a fun way and means leaf. From the Greek, chloro ‘green’ and phýllon ‘leaf’: a pigment that nature has conceived to activate photosynthesis and create the air that is breathable on Earth. Filla is a playful ash wood chair, natural varnished or dyed, but it can have different finishes and colours based on the environments and projects into which it will be inserted. The back legs are bifurcated like branches to support the two large leaves that form the back. The contours of the seat and backs are characterised by a particular “flaking” of the ash wood. The wood rounded in this way recalls the curves of the growth rings of trees. Passing time draws irregular winding curves in the wood, an effect that is recreated in Filla by the skilful interaction between mass-production work and hand-crafting care.
