The Chop Chair by Philippe Malouin is an evergreen design conceived for use in a range of public and private outdoor spaces.
Beautifully proportioned, with subtle curvatures, it is intentionally simple, in both construction and style. Chop reimagines a classic slatt ed-chair archetype to create a silhouett e that is immediately recognizable, yet pleasingly unknown. The idea for the design was infl uenced by Malouin’s work in the art world, where he often utilizes hand-led industrial techniques to develop striking forms that accentuate the object’s materiality. The Chop collection is cut, bent and welded from durable stainless steel, and is available in a raw, sandblasted or powder-coated colored fi nish. A design for all seasons, Chop is correctly weighted to resist wind, while still being light enough to move around and stack with ease.
