Raster + Radius
Prototype Chair 90.120

Our contribution to the 2024 Architect’s Chair competition is designed to tickle your inner maker. Extensive research was made on how to make things for assembly by people who don’t know how. Our chair is flexible enough to suit every body just right but also to suit your next situation or need. Able to unlock possibilities and to grow and evolve with a family of additions and extensions. And it’s easy to dispose of when that time comes. The shape is inspired by the Bauhaus principles, but mostly by the simple materials found in your local shop.

Wooden pegboard with multiple pegs and perforated sides, design concept.
Architectural sketches with perforated patterns and two labeled sections, 'Rocking' and 'Strict,' featuring circles and dotted lines, with numerical notations 900 and 1200.

Yes, we would love if you could build, test and remix the Raster Radius 90.120.
