Chainmail chair is a new take on William Katavolos 1952’s T-chair. Its seat is made up of hand-linked metal rings coming together to form a strong and flexible mesh that drapes down its T structure.

For Chainmail chair we sought to create a design that supported the idea of a body that is open to different forms of expression; to pain, to pleasure, to pleasure in pain, a body concentrated on its primal instincts. Chainmail chair ultimately seeks to express and question our wish for constraint. 

Chainmail is a fascinating material. It consists of series of hand linked rings coming together to form a strong and flexible mesh that drapes like a textile. Simple in concept but extremely versatile and charged with meaning. The result of an old craft that somehow looks industrial and modern.
