Float Chair
Designed by Lars Vejen & Taijiro Ishiko
A dining chair where steel and wood meet in careful balance. Float's open back introduces a gentle flexibility, while its considered proportions make it at home across a range of interiors and settings.

A slender, curved steel tube frame carries a wooden seat and backrest in a composition that balances hard and soft, cold and warm. The open back gives the chair a lightness in silhouette while providing flexibility and comfort in use.
Float is available in natural oiled oak or black painted ash veneer, each on a black powder-coated steel frame. The two finishes give the chair a distinctly different character while maintaining the same considered proportions.
Suitable for residential dining rooms, home offices and hospitality interiors. Stackable by four, making Float a practical choice for restaurants and commercial spaces.

Natural oiled oak - The oiled finish leaves the wood looking natural with a soft surface. Over time it develops a patina that enhances the character of the material. Remove dust with a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. For cleaning, use a soft cloth lightly wrung in lukewarm water, stroking in the direction of the grain, and dry off immediately. For more thorough cleaning, use a soap specifically formulated for oiled wood furniture. Re-oil when the surface starts to look faded or loses its softness, using an oil suitable for indoor wood furniture.
Black painted oak - Remove dust with a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. For cleaning, use a soft cloth lightly wrung in lukewarm water with a mild universal cleaning agent, and dry off immediately.
Steel frame - Clean with a soft dry cloth. If needed, use a cloth lightly wrung in lukewarm water and dry off immediately. Avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents as these can permanently damage the surface.
