Part of the designer's Ethereal Series, the chair is made from sycamore wood along with acrylic resin that gives the seat a somewhat slick aesthetic. The furniture piece is achieved using a micro stack-lamination technique that consists of wooden and poured resin for a high-end finish that's inherently durable. The 'Ethereal Chair' features a [curvilinear look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heart-chair) and feel that conveys a stylish appearance when positioned in a space without compromising when it comes to comfort. The chair will be showcased at the [Todd Merill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-system) art gallery.
