Perforated Sculptural Seating

‘Another Longchair' Reveals Attitude From Material Gap

Designer Erick Sakal was inspired by the lack of material, rather than by its addition, when creating the sculptural Another Longchair, as well as his other perforated seating designs.

The stunning portrait of the futuristic Another Longchair is composed of stimulating, bold curves and polished stripes of anodized aluminium. The anatomic outline mixes with the smooth design to bring out a most attractive result, that would present an eye-catching addition to your modern premises.

In a much similar way, Erick Sakal’s striking wavy chair brings out its glossy design through widely-spaced, bone-like sections that evoke spinal formations. And in a simpler seating perception, his drilled red chaise lounge makes its own statement on material gaps.

So, although I can hardly promise comfort, furniture ‘attitude’ is something I can certainly guarantee.
