Kinnarps SquareOne

We worked with the client to distill the brief into a set of simple cartoons that defined precisely their ambitions for a multi-purpose stacking chair – once the question was clearly defined the answer was a natural progression. The next stage was to refine the ergonomics through test rigs while, in parallel, investigating ways to optimise the design for robotic manufacture. The final product, called SquareOne, meets both the brief and very demanding price targets, and can be fully assembled by machine in less than a minute.
