The Verve Chair by L

Now that Milan’s Furniture Fair 2008 has come and gone, the ripple effect is still being felt by a number of designer’s inspirational works of art which is fit for human habitations. Well, at least some of it is fit for human use. Among the plethora of origami shelves, uber modern matted grey sofas, and space-cadet lighting systems glimmered a simplistic chair that tittered on the line of precocious. Who am I kidding, John Sebastian’s Verve chair is astonishing.

No, I am not referencing the founder of “The Lovin’ Spoonful”. John Sebastian, a Danish designer (surprise surprise), who début the Verve chair at the Milan Fair, constructed this remarkable piece out of a single 6mm piece of Corian, utilizing thermoforming technology. Mind you, Corian, is generally used for cladding walls or countertops, and not as applicable when developing stellar seating. Mr. Sebastian proved otherwise. It is durable, stackable and pretty swank. It harps of Verner Panton most notable and iconic piece the Panton Chair (see below)while adding a clever twist and utility. It’s brilliant!
