 BASF Presents Myto at K2007 Via Design Spotter I came across this innovative chair: The Myto Plastic Cantilever Chair, designed by Konstantin Grcic, a possible threat to the (in)famous traditional monobloc plastic chair and presented at K2007, the German International Trade Fair for Plastic and Rubber.
 On October 24, 2007, Dr. John Feldmann, member of the Executive Board of BASF, will be at the BASF stand at K2007 to unveil the MYTO chair in the presence of its creator, Konstantin Grcic of Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID).
This innovative piece of design furniture is a cantilever chair made entirely of BASF’s novel, especially easy-flowing engineering plastic Ultradur® High Speed. The high flowability, coupled with the strength of this plastic, allows an elegant transition from thick to thin cross sections. Even though the chair is manufactured as a monobloc and has a sturdy frame, its net-like perforations integrated into the backrest and the seat give it a graceful appearance.
The MYTO project was completed within record time. It took just a bit over a year to go from the original idea to the tool for serial production. The Italian furniture manufacturer Plank came on board at a very early stage of the development and was put in charge of manufacturing the serial part as well as of selling the chair.
