CROWN Easy Chair

The Crown collection comprises of an armchair (with or without a writing tablet) and an easy chair. These pieces are cleverly constructed, with a playful element to them. Backrests are perched on the armrests, seemingly unsupported but in fact relying on a strong, concealed steel joint. When designing the Crown, Chris Martin wanted to streamline the process of producing an upholstered chair by reducing it to four moulded panels. Moulds are usually expensive, but by creating shallow moulds, the process of shaping the foam was simplified and cost efficient.
