LCP Lounge Chair by Maarten van Severen


I found this image of the LCP Lounge Chair by Maarten van Severen at Hive, an interesting Portland, USA, based chair distributor.

LCP – “Low Chair Plastic” – is a fitting name for this low lounge chair. Created with a single piece of molded transparent plastic which spirals around itself to form a radically innovative seat. Thanks to an exclusive technology, LCP is elastic, soft and resistant in spite of its light and transparent appearance.

This one is made by Kartell in Italy while most other chairs by Maarten van Severen, one of my favorite chair designers, are made by Vitra in Germany/Switzerland

.06 Easy Chair by Maarten van Severen

Regular readers know I’m a huge fan of Maarten van Severen who passed away much to early in 2005.

Oops! I’ve had to change some posts here, because I had misspelled Maarten van Severen’s name. My first mistake was that I believed that his name was Van Seventer, then I thought it was Van Sevener….all wrong. I believe the reason was the wrong connotation it has with the Dutch word Zeveren, which means so much as nag or moan. Sorry Maarten. Anyway I pinched this photo from the Vitra site which is getting better and better nowadays while they use less and less flash…
