SPRING is an all-wood cantilever chair with an inviting and playful appearance. The chair integrates wood and plywood in a unique way, as the changing direction of the grain gives the chair a subtle yet distinctive character. The plywood seat and dowel legs give an extra springiness to the chair, while the wood front edge provides a soft touch for the back of the knees. The connection between the plywood seat and the legs is shown whereas it is normally hidden. The integration gives the chair an simple and honest typology, and provides both visual and actual stability to its use.
