Ahrend Kaigan chair

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

A private meeting chair, with a form that is almost iconic, a design that combines beauty and simplicity. Although Kaigan is the Japanese word for beach, the origin of the chair can be found closer to home: the design is based on the beach chairs that were typical of the Dutch seaside town of Scheveningen at the beginning of the twentieth century. Kaigan was designed by Marijn van der Poll in 2010. She created a form of stylish privacy, an inviting and comfortable spot that offers seclusion in an open area. The sense of privacy is even stronger thanks to the chair’s excellent acoustic properties, as the double-upholstery has a noise-reducing lining. A wide range of upholstery fabric, materials, colours and designs are available, and there are two fabric options: ordinary fabric without seams on the back, or a firm knit, also without seams on the back. This means that the chair can be given its own particular identity – a look that complements an organisation’s corporate style. Irrespective of design choices, the upholstery is always an environmentally friendly Cradle to Cradle material, while the natural look of the chair is created by rugged stitching and the large-scale organic patterns. #Ahrend #Marijn_van_der_Poll #Office_furniture #rieten_strandstoel #seating #Soft_seating #wicker_beach_chair
