washington skin nylon side chair

David Adjaye's cantilevered chairs establish a play between propping and balancing, so they are simultaneously functional and sculptural. The Washington Skin nylon chair is a colorful solid, while its inverted counterpoint, Washington Skeleton, is reduced to a fine geometric lattice sharing the same envelope.

David Adjaye OBE is recognized as one of the leading architects of his generation. Adjaye was born in Tanzania to Ghanaian parents and his influences range from contemporary art, music and science to African art forms and the civic life of cities. In 1994 he set up his first office, where his ingenious use of materials and his sculptural ability established him as an architect with an artist's sensibility and vision.

The Washington Skin nylon chair is offered in seven colors. It features Injection-molded, glass-reinforced nylon. The shell and legs are cast in three parts and are connected using mortise and tenon joinery and stainless steel fasteners. The unique prop-leg design is reinforced internally with a cast aluminum brace that is over-molded with nylon. The designer's signature and the KnollStudio logo are located under the seat. Features integral glides that elevate and protect the leg profile. Not recommended for outdoor use.
