Designer Marcel Sigel designs the new Soda chair for design studio DesignByThem as a re-imagined iteration of the traditional Bentwood chair from the 19th century. The new furniture piece is a stackable chair that is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Overall, the Soda chair boasts a bold design aesthetic with lightweight sensibilities as it has perforated details throughout its backrest and its seat. The piece grabs attention with its minimalist design that makes it versatile for multitudes of settings.
The Soda chairs are finished in a powder coated stainless steel material in the form of a tubular shape that is structured into a form that results in its foundation. This holds up frames that make up the metal perforated mesh seat and backrest.
