Sedan Lounge Chair is designed by Neri&Hu for ClassiCon with frame in solid oak or walnut, natural or black-stained, with clear varnish, seat shell in rigid polyurethane foam with polyurethane upholstery, cover in fabric or leather, changeable gliders in felt or plastic.
With their Sedan chair, Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu demonstrate how varying impressions can be created simply by changing the material or the colour of individual elements in a design. The chair’s seat and frame are conceived as visually distinct, contrasting forms: the seat appears to be suspended in the wood frame like a sedan chair, giving the design its name. Although offering the ultimate in comfort, the armchair is not a ponderous, immobile object, but rather a lightweight, flexibly arrangeable piece of furniture. In conjunction with the frame in wood, a wide variety of colour and material combinations are possible, to either harmonise with a given interior or form a deliberate contrasting accent. The designers have thus conceived the perfect chair for private use and public areas such as lounges, waiting rooms, reception aereas – something they had long sought for the interiors of their projects – providing distinctive, comfortable and yet mobile and elegant seating.
Neri&Hu are representatives of contemporary design from China. Their work is characterised by the constant occupation with contrasting cultures: “We consider ourselves bridges. Bridges for the next generation, bridges between past and future” and, not least, also as mediators between China and the West.
