The Utility Side Chair from Emeco is a no-nonsense design, putting functionality first while carrying formal beauty. Creator Jasper Morrison works with a ‘super normal’ design approach that balances shape and character with tension and expression. Morrison refines here with sweeping aluminum rods for legs and back support. These rods produce a smooth surface that heightens the artful, organic notes of the wood grain above. Artisans handwork the wood elements with curves all around. These curves invite one in with a clean, low-profile, and relaxed feel.
