DESIGN NAME:
Pam
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Chair
INSPIRATION:
Palm trees are subjects of a tropical natural lifestyle and immediately induce a sense of relaxation and wellness. Palm leaves are instantly associated with a soft ambiance and tropical feeling. The lamellar structure of the palm leaf served as inspiration for the distinctive design of the Pam chair and its name.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Pam is comparable to a puzzle, every of its part is inimitable. Each leg, arm and back rest element is singularly carved, assembled and honed manually, conducting a seamless design. Through this production process, every element is a character of its own, making Pam a case of sui generis and giving an overall harmonious look.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Flawless finishing and refined geometry are the main design properties which characterise Pam. The feminine name of the chair depicts the polished and filigree silhouette.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The prototype chair was firstly introduced at the Milan Design Week 2016 in partnership with the Italian furniture manufacturer Meroni & Colzani. Over the next few years, the manufacturing process was optimised, and the feasibility of the chair perfected which makes it now available, four years later.
