EVO-C
EVO-C is a successful, uncompromising iteration of the
principle and characteristics of the classic cantilever chair in the material
of plastic. Thanks to today's gas injection moulding technology, plastic
structures can achieve the proven strength and rigidity of cantilevered tubular
steel constructions. The load-bearing structure is formed by hollow tube-like
components that flow seamlessly into the planar surfaces of the seat and back.
Morrison's aim was to eliminate all superfluous
details: the shape of EVO-C, which is made entirely from 100% recyclable
polypropylene, is determined by the indispensable factors for achieving
stability and comfort. It combines the springy properties of tubular steel with
the comfort of an ergonomic seat shell.
The use of a single material gives EVO-C a cohesive
appearance. Its silhouette is so graceful that the chair almost disappears
behind the sitter. And when not in use, the chair resembles a two-legged
sculpture growing out of the ground, which serves as a discreetly elegant
substitute for the absent owner.
EVO-C is available in a selection of colours.

Jasper Morrison |
Known for thinking outside the box, Jasper Morrison is one of the most
successful industrial designers of the past few decades. Together with his
colleague Naoto Fukasawa, he defined the term 'super normal', which in his
opinion answers the question of what 'good design' should really be. In his
work, he strives to create good examples of understated, useful and responsible
design. Morrison has developed several projects in collaboration with Vitra,
including the APC, the Soft Modular Sofa and the HAL chair family. His designs
are represented in New York's Museum of Modern Art and other prominent museum
collections around the world. |
