« Une chaise qui s’inspire de la chaîne montagneuse qui s’étend sur tout le grand Maghreb, forcément il fallait s’attendre des courbures, le but étant sans doute de nous évader en montagne sans bouger de chez nous. Une chaise très originale proposée par Younes Duret qui s’inspire beaucoup du Maroc pour notre plus grand plaisir. »
The Younes Duret studio has evolved the classic design of their initial molded plywood seat, first crafted in 2006. The Espace Croix-Baragnon museum in Toulouse was privileged to showcase this beautiful piece; now with its 2020 update it is even more aesthetically pleasing! Curved aluminum tubes create a striated effect reminiscent of rugged mountain rock – an eye-catching and bold addition that gives new life to this timeless design.
