UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The rack-design is based on the required minimum of physics and material - realized by one endless pipe. The stability is achieved by the loop form. No further constructions and connections are necessary. The chair does not have any corners only curves - harmonious curves.
