Spun came out of research into the geometric simplification of a familiar object type. Could a completely rotationally symmetrical form make a comfortable chair? Developed through full-size test pieces, an ergonomic was established where seat, back & arms were all the same profile. The result is not immediately apparent as a chair & when upright looks more like a sculptural vessel. When lent on its side however, it forms a comfortable & functional chair that the sitter can rock from side to side in, or even spin round in a complete circle. Hence Spun was born & British designer Thomas Heatherwick presented his chair in Milan in 2010. Spun is made using rotational plastic moulding, a very efficient & low cost manufacturing process. The chair is suitable for use both indoors & outdoors. Dimensions: 90cm diameter x 65.2cm high.
