The design of CB2 chairs is somewhere between sculpture and furniture and was inspired by the organic shapes of nature and the animal world. With their different shapes and upholstery, no two CB2s are the same.
The Paper Clip Chairs collection has a tubular structure, alluding to the shape and ductility of a paperclip.
The design uses different fabrics and surfaces, depending on the chair’s intended function.
