Ombra. Shadow in Italian. This was the inspiration for this chair, a shadow of a chair that I saw in the room when the sun was setting with the shapes laying elongated on the floor. To keep that feeling of a mirage I used a textured & creased silver vinyl (normally I prefer natural fabrics). I liked the way it looked with the stainless steel sides making the wood look like an outline of a “shadow”.

I love this chair - I think is sleek, is contemporary and it is definitely a classic.
Nice chair, and very unique :-) I think the silver vinyl was the perfect choice :-)
I think it would also look good with open arms -- same arm shape, but without the wood on the inside and steel on the outside. Like a frame of the arm design.
You are my furniture design hero!!

Thank you Kelly.
You are great.
It is amazing that you say this because one of the original sketches was without the wooden sides, exactly like you mentioned.
Maybe we should make one that way and show it to you :)
