Rainbow Chair
The Cappellini Rainbow Chair by Patrick Norguet is formed entirely from acrylic plates in contrasting colors and thicknesses.
Joined using ultrasound, the bands create a vivid composition within the chair's simple outline. A mirror-polished finish, achieved by hand, gives the surface its gloss and highlights the meeting of material experimentation and precise craftsmanship.
Every detail, considered.
