Carbon fibre chair

Shigeru Ban / Tokyo Fibre

Price awaiting confirmation

“I wanted to make a chair that was lighter than Gio Ponti’s Superleggera, so light a child could pick it up with just his little finger,” said Japanese architect Shigeru Ban of his new carbon fibre design. Weighing around 500 grams he’s done just that. Two slender layers of carbon fibre sandwich very fine aluminium panels to create a chair that, though light as a feather with a paper-thin silhouette, is still as strong as an ox, and a lot more comfortable to sit on.
