Diatom Chair, Moroso
Ross Lovegrove

11 June 2014

Trying to do something different when designing a chair is an ever more daunting task. And yet that are still some who can pull it off. Diatom, born out of the collaboration between Moroso and Ross Lovegrove, with input from Feruglio Engineering, is an aluminum chair with seat and back pressed from a single sheet of metal, stackable virtually ad infinitum, extremely light and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. There is no waste of material, the cost is reasonable, it is entirely recyclable and lasts a long time. And it looks good too.
