Experiment Lounge Chair 502 Blue Black Leather Supply

Timeless, bold, and as compelling today as the day it was created, the Experiment Chair was designed by celebrated Finnish designer Yrjö Kukkapuro in 1982. Its expressive, innovative design was realized during a period of intense productivity by Kukkapuro, then a leading figure of Functionalism. The chair is an icon of eighties design. It demonstrates all the ergonomic qualities and extraordinary structural detail Kukkapuro is famed for. And, importantly, it embodies a fearless postmodern aesthetic that hasn t lost any of its impact. In the Experiment Chair, Kukkapuro sought to add art to Functionalism, to satisfy romantic tastes alongside meeting essential needs. The result is startling, authentic, a hero of twentieth-century design. It has been Hem s privilege to work alongside Yrjö to reintroduce the Experiment Chair to a new generation. The updated Experiment Chair is faithful to the original, featuring the same decorative armrests; red symbolizing fire, green representing trees, and blue denoting waves on a lake. New upholstery options are available, and the chair features subtle resizing tailored to contemporary needs.
