Minimalist Paneled Seating

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Present Simple Chair by Yoximovic is Full of Texture

— February 23, 2013 — Art & Design
The Present Simple Chair may seem very simple and in the moment, as the name suggests, but there is more than meets the eye when it comes to this deceptively minimalist piece of furniture. As is written on the designer's website, "Nothing is really just what it seems." Despite its clean lines and standard form, the Present Simple Chair is full of texture thanks to the particular use of wood. Instead of using single slabs of wood, paneled strips were joined together so that the grains of wood would contrast interestingly with each other.

Designed by YOXIMOVIC designo studio, the Present Simple Chair also has a nice set of legs. The classic supports have notches at the very top where the wood suddenly changes color.
