Swedish design boutique Artilleriet relaunches the iconic Etcetera chair designed and crafted by Jan Ekselius back in the 70s. It was originally crafted during his time at the Royal College of Art in London for a workshop, capturing attention with the unique waved silhouette of the furniture.
The relaunch retains the high-quality shape of the original design with a slight shift of focus to highlight sustainability when it comes to assembly and production. The range features three pieces and will be available in vibrant colorway options along with an amber color to capture a historic visual that references the 70s. The waved shape was made with bent steel and jute fabric and now made with adjustable Pullmaflex to be more flexible.
