BJARK INGELS DESIGNS VIA57 LOUNGE CHAIR BASES ON HIS NEW YOCK COURTSCRAPER

 Danish architect "Bjadke ingels" has desinged a chair for furniture brand Fritz Hansen based on the shape of his firm's via 57 West "courtscraper"  in NEW York.

The VIA57 chair was launched to mark the completion of the tetrahedron shaped residential tower which is Big's first major project in the city and was originally desinged for the building's lobby and lounges.

 The furniture stands on four splayed wooden legs & features a soft triangulary-shaped seat which extends into an upholstered back.
The VIA57 chair combines Scandinavain simplicity and elegance with American comfort &  generosity, said Ingels whose firm is desingning washington new stadium.
 The rotated corners allow a variety of social configurations while also evoking the tetrahedroncal geomentry of its parent architecture.
