B-Side: Slow Chair
We've featured previously the clever beauty of the Slow chair designed by the Bouroullecs for Vitra, but we couldn't resist to share with you its beautiful back side.

The Slow chair is constructed using a
very simple metal frame and an elastic polyester knit stretched
over it, which provides the needed strength, perfect comfort and a
beautiful transparent effect. The cast aluminium legs are attached
to the body of the armchair with two screws, which aren't hidden
but well exposed. The shape of the legs is so harmonious and
congruent with the curves of the armchair that it they feel as one,
if it wasn't for the mirror polished finishing that makes them more
visible. http://www.spotd.it/images/blog/09/07/09_slow-1.jpgshow" />

We have the bad habit of looking to the back side of objects.
Sometimes we discover complete different languages, or hidden
details that tell more about the product, and sometimes they happen
to be even more interesting than the official face; no matter what
we find is always worth the time.
It took four long years
for Ronan
and Erwan
Bouroullec and Vitra to
develop the production version of the Vegetal chair; reproducing in
plastic the random organical beauty of leaves and branches, the
balanced asymmetry of nature and its irregular geometries was a
huge challenge for the limited boundaries of serial
production.
The result is an interesting piece of furniture that seems to
have lost something important in its way to life; as Alessandro
Mendini puts it, moulds have a soul themselves and the imprint of
the mould seems to be too strong in the Vegetal chair, specially in
the top surface of the chair that appears stiff and
lifeless.
We found the b-side of the piece much more interesting, the
ribbing that assures structural rigidity enhances the natural-like
shapes, and the evident asymmetry of the legs and the interlocking
branches enrich its intricate naturalesque morphology, successfully
contrasting the artificial impress of the gas injected
plastic.

Frame
We make part of a bizarre group of people that go around turn upside down chairs, examining every single detail before actually sitting down on them. If you also feel repudiated by your friends for such an strange behavior with objects, then you'll probably love our B-Side series of articles. http://www.spotd.it/images/blog/09/11/09_frame-01.jpgshow" />
Don't make the simple beauty of
the Frame chair fool you, behind the subtle curves and the delicate
lightness there's an important amount of ideas and clever
projectual solutions.
The beauty of this piece lay in the rational thinking behind
it, in the way each of the many pieces, materials and production
processes combine with each other naturally, performing in relation
to the rest. The extruded aluminium profiles and die-cast pieces
conform a perfectly structured skeleton, the frame. The elliptical
profile hosts the polyester mesh covered with PVC, which creates
the soft body of the chair.
Complexity brought down to delicate simplicity, this is very
likely the reason why the Frame chair has become a contemporary
design icon.
