What are you showing?
Well, the chair prototype here (Prophets & Penitents). It’s the protoype of THIS chair, actually it’s a test model from 2004/2005, so before the prototype. It was commissioned by Hans Lensvelt who wanted a chair with a wooden shell and metal frame. For me, the best example of this type of chair is Arne Jacobsen’s butterfly chair, and we wanted to add something to it. We talked about this chair this, this chair that so in the end, we named it THIS chair. This is the test model to check the comfort.
