Nobody knows who designed the first white plastic chair, but now they are practically everywhere. They have several good features - they're light, cheap, stackable and easy to clean. If you can look past the plastic, they are well designed in shape and style. But their very blandness makes them oh-so-boring and their sheer popularity makes them common.
So the Swedish Front Design Group has revamped them with leather upholstery, making the humble white chair into an “exclusive armchair†and a a little more comfortable.
