The 'Neo-Primitive Chair' has been designed by Sisan Lee in collaboration with Rimowa as a seating solution that utilizes unexpected materials for impressive results. The chair is achieved with Rimowa's recognizable grooved aluminum sheet metal used for its suitcases, which gives the seat a distinctly industrial appearance at first glance. The chair is paired with a series of aluminum branches for the frame and legs to give it a distinctly primitive profile, thanks to their rustic contrast against the metal sheets.
The 'Neo-Primitive Chair' maintains a somewhat skeletal appearance that appears almost haphazardly constructed but is strong enough to support the weight of a sitter. The chair would act as a focal point in a space while still being fully functional.
