DRAPÉE CHAIR BY CONSTANCE GUISSET

A chair with a history, bringing back the value of the past

Pursuing the essence of its old French definition of draper (to cover with a drape), this chair of steel wires reproduces the image of a drape in fluid motion. This illusion still allows one to identify the lines of the chair’s frame while also wrapping one’s mind with a light, soft, imaginary blanket. The practicality of such a product has one wondering “why not take a seat?” Then the story behind it all fills one with silky thoughts. Why resist such an inviting offer? Constance Guisset, the designer of this vision, manipulates material of everyday objects in her Parisian studio into illuminating commodities. She has only your true pleasure and needs in mind.
