The Newson® Aluminum Stacking Chairs Design
Marc Newson, one of the most influential designers of his generation, has worked across a wide range of disciplines, creating everything from furniture and household objects to bicycles, cars, private and commercial aircraft, yachts, and architectural commissions. His clients include many of the world’s most prestigious brands in manufacturing, technology, transportation, fashion, and luxury goods.
The Newson Aluminum Stacking Chair is a sculptural masterpiece that combines a die-cast aluminum frame with a knitted mesh seat and back, creating a harmonious blend of strength and comfort. The mesh is knitted using polyester yarn for color and a soft hand, while thermoplastic elastomer provides the structural element. The chair’s distinctive reverse cantilever evokes a visual weightlessness and a remarkably simple profile, where the seat floats effortlessly, joined to the back via the legs.
