Description:
|
François Dallegret's 'Spring' Chair received extensive media coverage. The artist was photographed in numerous poses on the chair, which can adopt different positions. Three chairs remain; this is the final prototype although it was never produced. The chair explores the potentialities of a unique material in light of an uninterrupted line and a minimal structure.
