2017 - Words by Roos Smit - ’Back me up’ is all about providing support, and that is exactly what this chair does. The carefully crafted comfort serves to support the user, while the organic back offers a warm welcome and a gentle bounce. Exactly where needed, the seat and back allow a surprising amount of comfort, without sacrificing the crisp edges in the fabric.
“The name refers to the back of the chair—the side that is most visible in everyday life. I’ve tried to make this stand out by pushing it up by a few centimetres. This subtly exposes the seat, revealing a controlled play of lines in which the legs come out elegantly. A graphic effect that is reinforced by the combination of fabrics.”
