This chair beautifully marries rustic charm with modern innovation through its unique combination of materials and colors. It features a set of elegantly simple wooden legs, crafted from sustainably sourced beechwood, which provide a warm, organic contrast to the modernity of the seat.
The seat itself is a striking piece of molded acrylic, dyed a translucent purple that adds a vibrant pop of color while maintaining a light and airy appearance. The choice of purple, a color often associated with creativity and wisdom, reflects Riordan’s desire to inspire and invigorate those who encounter his design. The transparency of the seat allows it to blend seamlessly with various interior themes, from minimalist to eclectic.
