Created for A Lot of Brasil, the Cone chair design by Xavier Lust is a stunning seating specimen that combines geometry, architecture and style within its intriguing structure.
Curved along the top, the back of the chair gradually tapers to a sharp point that gives it the look of a shiny chrome seashell. The plush side features a gentle slope that doesn't go as deep as the exterior, allowing for comfortable seating and support for the lower back. Thin, dainty legs protrude from the bottom as extensions of the metal shell, adding a graceful appeal to this contemporary chair.
The Cone chair design presents a polished front with its contrasting textures of soft, velvety cushioning and a hard metal shell, similar to a beetle's exoskeleton.
