The EDGE Chair stands out from its counterparts with its unique properties and exceptional craftsmanship. Made from 3 mm thick aluminium, the chair is moulded to perfection and robotically welded, ensuring both strength and longevity. Its minimalist design concept allows for a clever composition of surfaces that form a perfectly balanced and functional whole.
One of the key features of the EDGE Chair is its stackability, making it a practical choice for various settings. Whether used in interior spaces or outdoor environments, this lightweight chair offers versatility without compromising on style. With a weight of just 6.1 kg, it is easily manipulated and can be effortlessly arranged to suit different seating arrangements.
The production process of the EDGE Chair involves cutting the 3mm aluminium plate with laser precision, followed by bending and welding to achieve the desired shape. The surface is then finished with a powder coating, resulting in a tough and durable product. Each chair is rigorously checked to meet the brand's exacting quality standards before shipment.
Measuring 650 mm x 550 mm x 850 mm, the EDGE Chair is designed to provide maximum comfort without sacrificing space. Its sleek and contemporary design is further enhanced by a variety of fashionable colors, allowing it to seamlessly blend into any interior or exterior setting.
The EDGE Chair project, initiated in 2011 and completed in 2012, was exhibited at the ICFF New York, showcasing its innovative design and craftsmanship. The design process involved extensive research, including the creation of paper models and the testing of prototypes to optimize the chair's maximum load capacity. The final product has been certified to meet all the necessary norms for public seating.
Petr Novague, the mastermind behind the EDGE Chair, overcame numerous challenges during the design process. The primary obstacle was achieving a lightweight chair while maintaining the integrity of the design. By combining all the planes under the same angles, Novague successfully created a chair that is both visually stunning and structurally sound.
The EDGE Chair is an exclusive creation by Petr Novague and is manufactured and sold solely by Novague. Its all-aluminium construction and stackable design make it a standout piece in any space. With its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, the EDGE Chair has been recognized with the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2016.
