Carbon Fibre Ch.airs by Laisr

Carbon Fibre Chair by Laisr

Laisr is a design studio based in Basel, Switzerland. They specialize in producing furniture using a very non-traditional material, carbon fibre. This super strong and ultra light material is mainly used for engineering purposes, but Laisr has applied it to three chairs in their product line. the reason they use the material is because of its super strength. While most don’t like to think of carbon fibre as a green material, Laisr believes that because its durability makes it last so long, the required energy to manufacture it is justified. They also took the design of the chairs into consideration, creating sleek and, what they believe, to be timeless form.

Manufatured in nature fiber and structure in fiber carbon the “OM” is a remarkable lounge chair with character and expression. Its chiseled style beguiles the eye and its high-class comfort is revealed the moment one sits down. The straight surfaces present a clean form, borne by the dynamic tension of a surface which has been transformed into pure seating pleasure.

White ch.air by Laisr

ch.air by laisr
ch.air by Laisr is an elegant carbon composite light weight Chair. It has a well chosen name ch.air for light Ch (=Swiss) design.

Laisr is a furniture brand created and owned by Torgny Fjeldskaar and Javier Alberich. The company is based in Basel, Switzerland. We do high-tech furniture designed and hand-made to stand the test of time.

Our current products are designed by Torgny Fjeldskaar, whose daytime job is to design high-end bicycles for Cannondale, a company famous for its innovative use of high-tech materials.

Javier Alberich is the creative director.

ch.air, Laisr’s first project, is a full carbon fiber chair made utilizing an innovative manufacturing process borrowed from the bicycle industry. The six hollow molded carbon fiber elements are interconnected by compression molded carbon fiber lugs in high-stress areas. This technique not only makes for a highly optimized structure and extremely light weight, it also offers manufacturing flexibility and a distinctive appearance. Visually, the goal was to create a logical, simple and well-proportioned design; we wanted the looks to be as lasting as the material is durable. ch.air is available in black (carbon fiber with glossy clear coat) or in stormtrooper white with black lugs.
