The Playcard chair come from the idea of creating an object that was easy to move used in situations where space is precious, like a yacht or a race sailboat. The shape is inspired by playing cards and the chair has rounded corners for better movement and a maximum thickness of 6mm.

 

The material, forged carbon fiber, is an obvious choice for lightness and rigidity. I choose it for its attractive aestethic properties associated with this new technology. It is used into industrial processes like those to built the windows of the new Boeing Airbus A380. It is more sustainable and environmental friendly. Under the light it shows a nice play of reflections. On a race sailboat like an Open 60, a Farr or an Imoca, everything is thought to be lightweight and easy to store and clean. These boats could have up to 10 people crew so it means that all the chairs will deal only 6cm. With its large front base this chair is stable and thanks to its design it is funny and familiar all over the world
