The seating collection started as a row of chairs that all tried to be the interesting one. The edit was brutal. We kept the Rock Chair because it disappeared under a table, the naïve chair because the back actually held a shoulder, and the lounge because people sat down and stopped talking about it.

Modern, in this room, is not a finish. It is the decision to leave a joint visible and a cushion removable. If a chair needs a paragraph to explain how to sit, it does not ship.

The photos in the journal are from the Basel floor, late light, no styling beyond the pieces that were already there.
