Swiss design studio BIG-GAME designs the BOLD collection for French furniture brand Moustache starting with the EXTRA BOLD Armchair design. It starts off with a foundation of a Bauhaus-themed metal tube chair with a layer of polyurethane foam and then it is covered with a knitted material that is created by a sock factory.
The designers drew inspiration from the idea of a three-dimensional item that is made by one continual line. The BOLD collection now extends to a bench, and a stool, and now the armchair is the latest to join the roster. It has a thick foam unit that covers two metal tubes that come together to create a comfortable seat along with soft curves that make up a back, armrest, and seat.
