Wedge

Wedge is a carved, solid wood chair with an upholstered seat.‎ The armrests and backrest are supported by a steel support.‎ Materials: Carved solid Walnut, Oak, Ash or Ebonized Ash.‎ There is subtle, invisible but crucial architectural detail here.‎ One of BassamFellows’ ongoing projects is to create what we think is the most fundamental as well as elegant dining chair, where the detail on the materials used is a key visual component, and the shape is dynamic but feels effortless and light.‎ This new design mixes a visual simplicity with an involved technique: to achieve the angle silhouette that echoes the physicality of a sprinter at the starting blocks, the chair is supported by a pair of back legs that lean at 70 degrees, in contrast to the simple vertical lines at the front.‎ The backrest is a key architectural aspect – cantilevered and supported by thin wooden armrests sculpted to be wider at the front for function and tapered away to as little as possible behind.‎ The construction is more complicated than the shape appears – to achieve the elements of negative space and lightness we wanted, we embedded a steel support in the armrest and backrest.‎ Подробная информация от производителя о WEDGE BassamFellows
