The Concertina Chair by London-based design studio Raw-Edges is designed to be the newest addition to Louis Vuitton's 'Objets Nomades' collection. The back of this unique sculptural chair is shaped to resemble the petals of a flower, and comes in colors ranging from bold and vibrant to muted and subtle.
The chair is equipped with a zipper hidden in the back, which allows for the chair's blades to be folded in on itself, making for a compact and mobile addition to a home's decor. The chair challenges tradition conventions of form following function by being driven by "form following movement." The chair is said to elegantly open up "like a Japanese fan."
Design and aesthetic were the driving forces behind the chair's conception, creating the perfect addition to a modern home.
