Heavy-Duty Concrete Chair, Stefan Zwicky’s Version of Le Corbusier

Did you ever think a concrete seating element could be so well defined? The Concrete Chair was developed by Stefan Zwicky, a designer currently living in Zurich and makes quite a strong impression on its first time viewers. Since we can not really talk about comfort or ergonomics, we like to think of this chair in terms related to art, rather than to product design. Its appearance is striking to say the least and could be well integrated in any outdoor decor or in an eccentric interior. In designing this chair, Stefan Zwicky was inspired by the famous Le Corbusier armchair (showcased in the last photo of this post) creted by Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, a Swiss pioneer of what now is called Modern architecture.
