It's fascinating to see a legless seat and contemplate its engineering. The Strip Chair particularly has been manufactured to a form that boggles the mind and delights the eyes.
A single sculptural piece of warped polyethylene expresses the shape of a chair quite abstractly but effectively. The furnishing is curvaceous and asymmetrical, standing upon a seemingly folded edge of the sturdy material and opening up like the petals of a flower into a fluid perch.
Fabio Novembre's elegant creation looks different and exciting from every angle. The Casamania Strip Chair may be best appreciated in a room with others of its striking silhouette, perhaps surrounding a dining table where one glance will reveal an array of graceful forms facing various directions.
