The chair Robo is designed by Luca Nichetto. The design of Robo is inspired by a 1999 music video by Icelandic artist Björk and Chris Cunningham, in which robots become human and come to life. The Robo chair has a completely new and unique look due to its separated seat and legs. The chair can be compared to a Meccano set that can easily be built on the spot. All the parts fit into a 50x50x20 cm box, which facilitates transport and also meets Offecct’s stringent environmental demands.
“I thought the video’s concept of robots being constructed and given life was so exciting, and I couldn’t stop thinking that it should be possible to do something similar with furniture,” Nichetto says. “My fantasy became reality when I transformed the forms of the human robots into chairs, which were later named Robo.”
Robo is available in black or white stained ash. Robo comes unassembled in minimal packing only of 0,06 m3. Can be ordered assembled.
