Umbra Design: Outline Chair

Umbra’s Outline Chair is another great example of using graphic line in three dimensional objects.
(See more examples of this trend on this designgush trend page).

Why is this look so prevalent and why does it work? I believe as our worlds, schedules and daily tasks become increasingly infiltrated by messaging, information and rapidly changing technology, we need streamlined design to help us to cut through the clutter and deliver to us the most important information. We see this in graphics & marketing all the time, not only through the visual presentation but also in the form of communication which is direct and simply stated. I believe that same clarity translates into our physical environments. Through clean and graphic lines, objects can help us to ease our chaotic worlds into refined ones.  Graphic lines in three dimensions can add decoration but at the most minimal level. The objects have an understated character, seen perfectly in the Outline Chair.
From Umbra via MoCo Loco: This chair was designed for the competition ANDREW WORLD which will continue to September. Outline Chair will look good in a minimalism interior – dining room. The Chair is made ​​of beech or oak, there is good and expressive texture, which tinted any color. Also transparent model will be made – with plastic, or Corian, they can be used outside as well.
