Klismos

The Klismos Chair is a perfect example of using texture and line to create a refreshing take on an everyday object. Take the legs, for example, the curved lines add an interesting component, allowing the chair to become unusual and thought-provoking. The back of the Klismos is comfortable and inviting, while the seat of it has an engaging texture, but the material allows for some give, improving the comfort of the, otherwise, all wood chair.

I personally am quite fond of this chair, I think it looks quite contemporary. I am curious to see what it would look like if it was done in lucite, or if it was upholstered; I think it would take on a completely different approach but still maintain its intrigue.

EDIT:
I found some examples of a lucite and upholstered version! Although I'm not a fan of the 'ghost chair' trend, I could get used to a ghost Klismos chair, and definitely prefer it to the upholstered one (which looks like a sad, too short dining room chair).
