The KD04 Chair by Matrix
Looking for a chair simple in appearance but exceptional in design? Look no further than the KD04 chair by Matrix. It is a true centerpiece and won first prize at the Low-Cost Design Competition in the year 1948.
It has a frame made from curved steel and legs made from drawn steel wire. It comes in a range of colors and has a removable cushion in wool felt. They obtain the chair from the cutting of a flat sheet of steel that forms the distinctive body when folded.
By studying the shapes achieved from folding the sheet, the designer could create an ergonomic seat.
The KD04 chair by Matrix is the masterpiece of Donald Knorr who designed it with the encouragement of his mentor Eero Saarinen. The designer initially made the chair with a thermo-bended plastic sheet.
While they have enhanced it over the years, it has not lost its original appeal and beauty. They changed the seat for both formal and technical reasons. The shape of the sheet was improved and fastened.
The KD04 chair is truly exceptional. It is a unique seat that invites you to relax and unwind. Its enameled structure comes in a wide range of colors and its felt cushion augments its overall comfort and warmth.
It is the true essence of fine craftsmanship. A flat, rigid element is transformed into a welcoming body frame that not only offers comfort but also offers true beauty. Wouldn’t you love relaxing in the KD04?
