'Pleuel' prototype chair, 2011

H. 79 x 52 x 50 cm.
Schellmann Furniture, Munich.
Natural cast aluminum, gray-green plastic seat.
Marked.: Schellmann Furniture Label.

“The three aluminum rods, shaped like machine parts, meet on an axis and support the entire chair, which almost becomes a cantilever chair. I haven't found a chair with this design principle anywhere else, despite my in-depth research. For me, despite the mechanical look, there is an almost erotic elegance, especially from behind. There are a few prototypes, all with different seat shells.”
