The Pelt Chair may boast a minimalist aesthetic, but it is full of careful details that not only elevate its overall design, but also its practicality. Made to be stackable, the Pelt Chair is a modern update of the more traditional stacking chairs. Colorful and curvaceous, it offers a comfortable embracing backrest that is complete with a cutout handhold for easy portability.
Designed by British designer Benjamin Hubert, the Pelt Chair was created for Portuguese manufacturer De La Espada. Made out of a thin 8mm plywood shell and solid ash frame, up to six Pelt Chairs can be stacked into a single pile. Clean and simple, it will complement any living space. It is available in four muted colors including natural wood, green, red and white.
