Alfredo Häberli Design Development

To make a chair made of titanium wire was one of my dreams. A chair made of very, very little wire is the reality. The wires of the seat run lengthwise, and this detail (all other benches and chairs run crosswise!) makes comfortable sitting possible with less wire. Surely you know why. And up until now, no other designer has seen it this way. A sketch, an unfinished drawing is something wonderful. While working on Nais, the chair was always in front of me - in graphite. The plan was to execute it in titanium, an idea that has persevered since the first sketch.
