The AIRE Chair explores fluid, continuous form through a contemporary interpretation of vintage Scandinavian furniture. The design focuses on resolving structure and comfort into a single curved frame, with attention given to proportion, materiality and the transition between elements. The legs, armrests and backrest are designed to read as one connected form, prioritising flow and continuity over separation and rigidity.
100 CHAIRS is now officially open. The exhibition presents the work of over 100 Australian creatives, studios, artists, architects and practices exploring the chair as a medium.
