Spin: A Playful Chair with PersonalityA Classic Design with a Twist
Remember playing with a spinning top as a child? Watching as it slows down, leaning to the side until it falls and eventually comes to a stop. The playful nature of it. That's where the inspiration for this chair comes from. The chair has a classic yet characteristic design. It is a chair with life and personality. It can spin playfully when no one sits in it. Structural details - such as rolled edges and internal ribs - adds stability and personality. And, most of all, it is very comfortable to relax in for one or two persons.
Jesper Legaard Jensen, the renowned designer behind the Spin chair, drew inspiration from his childhood memories of playing with a spinning top. The chair captures the essence of this playful experience, adding a unique twist to the world of furniture design.
The Spin chair stands out with its classic yet characteristic design. It exudes life and personality, making it more than just a piece of furniture. When unoccupied, the chair can spin playfully, adding an element of fun and surprise to any space.
What sets the Spin chair apart is its attention to detail. The structural elements, such as rolled edges and internal ribs, not only enhance its stability but also contribute to its distinctive aesthetic. These design features give the chair a sense of personality, making it a statement piece in any room.
Comfort is another key aspect of the Spin chair. Designed for relaxation, it offers a cozy and inviting space for individuals or couples to unwind. Whether enjoying a good book or engaging in conversation, the chair provides a comfortable and supportive seating experience.
The Spin chair is crafted using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. The shell is made from thermoformed polycarbonate, ensuring durability and strength. The chair also features six identical pillows made from molded foam, providing additional comfort and cushioning. The fabric covering the pillows is optional, allowing for customization to suit individual preferences.
Recognized for its exceptional design, the Spin chair was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2011. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Spin chair's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics make it a standout piece, contributing to a better world through its fulfillment and positive impact.
