Via my friends at Freshome I learned that the Boxer Chair designed in 1971 by Kwok Hoi Chan will be re-edited by Paris based chair manufacturer Steiner. With Steiner a whole new era of Chair History I wasn’t aware of opens up for me.
These Ribbon chairs No. CL9 by Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi were sold at Sotheby’s for $ 9,000.
We didn’t feature Singapore based Jarrod Lim‘s Koi Chair earlier which is an omission.
