L1 Chair
L1 Chair is a minimalist chair designed by Seoul-based studio OBJECT LEUCI. This piece is distinguished by its use of stainless steel, crafted into a robust framework that ensures durability and strength. The incorporation of double butt vegetable leather, noted for its significant thickness, forms a hammock-like seating area that not only provides secure support for a wide range of users but also enhances the structural tension, contributing to the chair’s overall stability. A key feature of the L1 CHAIR is its adaptability; the design accommodates customization to fit the user’s body size, and its assembly and disassembly capabilities open up possibilities for collaborative ventures.
Despite its intricate appearance, the chair’s design philosophy is grounded in simplicity and symmetry, with each element serving a functional purpose while contributing to the aesthetic appeal of the piece. Object Leuci’s approach to design is evident in the L1 CHAIR, where a minimalist vocabulary is employed to explore the creation of optimal forms. This exploration reflects a broader design ethos that balances the visual and tactile aspects of the product with practical utility. The chair’s construction highlights Object Leuci’s dedication to a design language that seeks to redefine beauty through the repetition of simple shapes, creating complexity and visual interest through their arrangement and interaction.
