ETERNIT SPONECK
CHAIR & SPONECK TABLE
The
discepancy between the lightness and dynamism of form on the one hand and the
solid durability of the material on the other makes the Sponeck chair an object
of special aesthetic qualities over and above its function as a piece of
furniture.
Two Eternit
plates curved towards each other form a static system on the basis of their
connection. The mono _ materiality as a form of construction doing justice to
the material used ensures that the Sponeck chair is a designer object of
unusual stylistic consistency.
Felt, which
in terms of its aesthetic material qualities is very similar to Eternit, may be
added as an additional layer where required.
