"One of the most difficult and noble disciplines is to design without eccentricity, creating simple, well-functioning and almost ordinary objects that nevertheless have strong identities. We designed Fiber Armchair to do just that through a clear sculptural language that refuses to compromise on comfort." - Iskos-Berlin

The Fiber Side Chair with A-base is made from an innovative wood fiber composite with up to 25% wood fibers for a tactile expression and matte touch. The fibers make for a unique texture when viewed up-close yet become invisible to the eye when viewed from afar, paired with an embracing yet minimal shape; perfect for any home setting, workspace, restaurant or educational setting.

Iskos-Berlin is a Copenhagen-based design duo that has made international headlines within furniture, industrial, and graphic design. The studio, formerly known as Komplot Design, has collaborated with some of the world's most prestigious manufacturers and their furniture, lighting, and other design products, are exhibited at numerous design museums around the world, including MoMA and the Danish Design Museum.

Shell consists of an innovative composition of plastic and up to 25% wood fibers. The wood fiber and plastic blend is injected into the mold, forming the chair's shell. The Fiber Chair family is made partly from a natural material, meaning that variations in color can occur. The simple design of the Fiber Side Chair makes it a modern addition to any space, whether it being a conference gathering or dining setting. The Fiber A-base has the same light expression as the Fiber Side Chair, made in an extremely durable and practical stackable contract version. By stacking onto the chrome base instead of the seat, the shells avoid scratches and indents.
