Co Bar/counter Chair, Non-Upholstered

The Co Bar/Counter Chair, Non-Upholstered from Audo Copenhagen, formerly Menu, allows you to survey your surroundings from an elevated perch. A memorable design collaboration between Norm Architects and Els van Hoorebeeck, it starts strong with an open frame of powder-coated steel that is slender but not spindly, and further reinforced by a bracket-style foot bar. Its curving seat and back are made from beech core plywood, softened by an oak veneer that adds depth and naturalism to the otherwise minimalist design.
