A print to
make your own.

The chair seems to hover above its shadow, held by two crossing curves. Rows of buttoned cushions fill the upper half of the drawing, while the frame opens into the white of the paper below. A single object becomes a study in support, balance and proportion.

In my words.

For me, chairs carry the DNA of design. They bring structure, material and the human body into a very small space. An architect’s way of thinking can become visible in something we use every day: in the sweep of this steel frame, or the bent timber of Alvar Aalto’s Paimio chair.

The Barcelona chair was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich for the German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. It is a classic I enjoy looking at as a drawing: the soft, buttoned leather against the spare metal curves, and the space that passes through and around it.

Chairs, light and form.
