Chair_ONE, the first chair by Konstantin Grcic to be fully industrially manufactured, was designed for the Italian producer Magis. Normally, aluminium is moulded to produce parts of chairs. Grcic designed a one-piece basket shaped shell, supported by four preformed legs. Chair_ONE can be seen as paying homage to countless classic shell chairs by Robin Day, Charles and Ray Eames, Harry Bertoia and Frank Lloyd Wright.
