The theme ‘Extremely’ inspired me to work with an extremely simple chair that can be used everywhere every day. ‘Talpa’ chair is extremely versatile and incredibly comfortable. ‘Talpa’ is Latin for a chameleon and refers to the fact that the chair can change its look and function by changing the cover/seat. Just unbutton some push-buttons and you can remove the cover/seat. The waxed canvas has excellent water shedding properties, superior durability and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor. The nubuck/felt cover is a luxury version with a lot of texture and feel to it. It has extremely little handling in the manufacturing process. The simple, yet curved and characteristic metal tube frame can be stacked extremely tight and the covers/seats can be folded and stored extremely flat taking up very little space. The chair is very light and can easily be moved around everywhere everyday.
