Waikiki Armchair
by Christophe de la Fontaine
(Dante Goods and Bads)

The compact, comfortable Waikiki armchair is made of turned beechwood, and completed with brass straps, elastic straps and a quilted cover. The individual elements fit together thanks to a construction based on the tensegrity principle, consisting of a framework of compression and tensile members in a specific topology stabilised by induced prestress. The chair is inspired by the “Safari chair”, a folding chair used by British officers in the late 19th century. Although the chair's use does not imply frequent assembling and dissembling, its design allows easy separation of the different materials making up each element. This feature promotes the circularity of materials and reduces the ecological footprint while offering the possibility of replacing and exchanging components at every need.
