The K1 designer seat features a detailed thought process behind the composition that speaks to contrasting materials and elements of the chair's overall scheme. The chair, fabricated by Marta Adamczyk, distinctly juxtaposes raw materials with sharp metal lines and structural pieces.

While the K1 chair might look pretty standard at first glance, it is at closer inspection that one will see the stark contrasts that make up the furniture piece's intriguing design. The chair is made using organic wood with curved grain marks that is then juxtaposed with the clean lines of the dark metallic frame. In addition, from the side the seat looks think and geometric whereas from the front the wooden seat and backing gives it an intriguingly wide shape.
