The 'Konvergence' chair has been designed by Emmanuel Hugnot as a modernized take on the classic lounge chair that offers a new silhouette for onlookers to admire. The chair is achieved with a centralized knot-like support section that has been achieved using a 3D printer and works to keep the various beams positioned just right for the upper and lower sections. The chair is paired with a total of eight wooden slats along with a fabric seat section in the upper portion.
The 'Konvergence' chair takes a decidedly different approach to classic furniture design and was explained further by Hugnot who said, "In an ecological will, ‘Konvergence’ is intended for small series to compete with heavy industry in terms of resource consumption and price. Thanks to its shape the chair is easy to disassemble for better transport or storage.”
