DesignChristophe Pillet’s design approach pursues beauty and emotional expression in the ordinary. The First Steps chair expresses this approach through a lyrically simple silhouette that evokes the archetypal chair while remaining contemporary. The same design language is applied to the bar stool variant.
Materials and constructionThe sinuous metal frame rises to form a painted backrest. The seat and back are hand-woven and offered in two natural weaving options: twisted paper rush cord or pure cellulose paper cord. The seat weaving is entirely handcrafted.
