360° Chair

2009

Steel, die-cast aluminum, polyurethane and epoxy resin

Not on view

In the late 1990s, a heightened awareness of the dangers of repetitive strain injuries and poor posture led to the introduction of new types of seating that privileged movement. Sometimes the results were slightly unwieldy, as in the cases of the 360° Chair and Stool. As indicated by their names, they were made to swivel in a complete circle. They are also adjustable in height and can accommodate different postures. Grcic described them as “furniture that should move around without a fixed place, something you pull up for a certain situation.”
