01 Chair
Shiro Kuramata's 01 Chair for Cappellini draws its light silhouette with intersecting tubular lines and curved arms.
An iron-tube frame in polished chrome or matte black surrounds a padded seat with fixed leather upholstery. The open structure leaves the form visually transparent, making the chair's flowing geometry its defining feature.
Every detail, considered.
