Loop chair by Annabella Hevesi is a very well-designed and visually striking chair that combines traditional and modern design elements. The use of a single trapezoid form with smooth ellipsoid curvatures to create the entire sculpture gives the chair a sense of cohesiveness and continuity, while the play on edges and profiles creates a dynamic visual effect.
It’s interesting that the design allows for replaceable seating element and the vertical backrest segment to be upholstered separately, this is a smart move as it allows for customization and makes the chair more comfortable. The use of a flexible fastener/spacer under the seating element is another thoughtful detail that would add to the chair’s overall comfort.
The use of ash wood as the primary material for the chair gives it a traditional and natural feel, but the option to use other materials such as oak or beech, and to cover it with leather or other fabrics allows for further customization.
It’s also great that this was a design for a design contest and you are open to finding a partner that can develop the product with you. It’s a competitive process and with your clear idea, good execution and focus on the shell and leg variability, your chair can be a strong candidate.
Overall, Loop sounds like a very well-designed and well-crafted piece of furniture that would be a great addition to any contemporary living or working space.
