Imagine flicking through the pages of a color-intense magazine and then transposing that feel onto a piece of furniture and you'll get an idea of the concept behind this chair; it is the clever design of Cate Högdahl and Nelson Ruiz-Ascal of cate&nelson, and provides a unique piece of furniture that will allow you to change its color and mood at the turn of a felt page (or layer).
The sturdy white lacquered steel provides the functional base for the oz chair and the multi-colored layers the design-inspiration. The Swedish-Spanish design team design products 'to stand out' and have combined function, research and shape to mold the oz chair and will sit proudly in any room - leaving you with the hard decision of which color it should be for today.
