Bentwood 'Chair of the Rings' Chair by Martino Gamper for Thonet / Conran
£2,750
Sculptural bentwood 'Chair of the Rings' chair designed by Martin Gamper and produced by Thonet in 2008.
Gamper was invited by Polly Dickens, creative director of the Conran Shop, to reinterpret the classic Thonet bentwood chair for the retailers Inspirations show, launched during the London Design Festival. He visited the Mundus factory in Croatia (which has been supplying Conran with Thonet chairs for decades) and came back to his London studio with about 100 elements including seats, legs, arms and back rests, which he then arranged into new chairs. Taken from the press release.
