It sounds like they had a big fight getting this chair right. Itsashame they added the fluo detailing, especially the Gstring. It distracts in a very aggressive way, unlike the other beautiful and very tactile work from Hella. It'd be great if the chair had more references to the charming worker sofa :) … I wonder why their text explaining the chair almost sounds like an excuse?

Bourroulec Bros Steelwood chair is way beter as this one when it comes to using wood as an "historical material" in an modern day chair.
