There are three different models of the Studio Twin chairs, including the standard version with a mirrored backrest and base, the Studio Twin Beam with a table attached and the Easy Chair that more simply comprises its backrest and distinguishing single armrest.
UNStudio created these quirky perches for Offecct by assembling fine bent-metal frames and laminated wooden panels that have been formed into continuous seats, backrests and side supports. These are then covered in soft fabrics or smooth leather materials and rendered in bold colors like red.
The beauty of the shape of the Studio Twin chairs is that their wing-like sides encourage the arrangement of rhythmic patterns. Configure the seats alternatingly back and forth and you'll end up with a unique use of space and an opportunity for face-to-face neighbors to interact.
