Konstantin Grcic’s Rival Chair represents a fresh approach to the wooden chair. While its arms and backrest are made of form-pressed birch lamella, its legs are milled from a single piece of solid birch, taking on a fluid quality more similar to moulded plastic than timber. Rival is Artek’s first chair in Nordic look with a swivel function; the upholstered seat, available in a choice of textiles and colours, conceals a clever aluminium “knot” that rests in a polypropylene “socket,” allowing a circular movement. The graceful lines of the Rival Chair in Scandinavian design mean it swivels effortlessly from office to dining table.
A universal, simple chair for the office, home or public spaces from Finnish manufacturer Artek.
The Rival chair legs, as well as the back and armrests are made of solid and lacquered birch wood. The seat shell is made of plastic in polypropylene in various colors, the seat upholstery can choose between leather or 3D knitted cover.
