Simple Steel Seating

The Marie-Sophie Chair is Full of Empty Spaces

At once simple and intricate, the Marie-Sophie chair is a stunning piece of furniture that will add character to any home. Although some may look at it and see a glorified beach chair, I see a delicate seat that would fit into any living space with ease.

Designed by Pierre Brichet, the Marie-Sophie chair features a steel trellis structure and a leather seat. Rather prismatic, there is a focus on empty spaces that gives this chair an airy feel.
