Konstantin Grcic's injection-moulded plastic Pro chair is characterised by the exaggerated curve that joins the seat to the backrest.

This latest variation repeats the shape either side of the seat to form armrests.

Grcic originally designed the chairs as school seating in 2012 before extending the range, produced by German brand Flötotto.

The chairs come with a range of metal or wooden legs, with options for swivel bases, wheels and different arms.
