U Chair by Sylvain Willenz
by Mihai Gurei
We all agree here at Designro that Sylvain Willenz is the bright new star of Belgian design along with my other favorites, Big Game. Their show during Milan Design Week 2009 was a deep breath of fresh air. Feld, a new Belgian brand presents U Chair, Sylvain’s first piece from a future range based on his recent experiments with bent steel tubes. The minimal bauhausian low chair use a high tech 3D woven fabric that stretches on the whole thin foam upholstery with a nice quilted effect. The base is a U shape made exactly from the same profile as the upper structure. The chair comes together with a ottoman for your waiting areas and lounges needs. Although I can see it in a bright living room matching with some Dieter Rams hi-fi pieces.
