Artù

Dining chair

Design: Isao Hosoe

Production: Cassina, Italy, 1991

 

Artù is the ideal seat for King Arthur’s round table. It’s a leather throne, born as a round section from the top view, that stimulates the social gathering and enhances the interaction between the users.

 

I wanted to give shape to the proxemic territory of those who sit. The rounded form of the perimeter of the chair pushed me to work with the analogy of King Arthur’s round table, of which descends the name of this dining chair.
