Evan Dublin went searching through a salvage yard in NYC when he found his perfect furniture material--a broken-down slide--and created the Slide Chair.
Inspired by the fun and giddiness of a child sliding down that spiraling tube, Evan Dublin wanted to portray those same components in a useful, modern chair.
The Slide Chair is perfect for that kid who never wants to leave the playground and makes for a fun and adventurous accessory to any room.
