tension/concentration

As the starting point of the development for the chair series "FILO", EOOS invited a Japanese archer to Vienna. He practiced and showed "Kyudo", the art of archery, and explained the therefore essential concentration technique.
The arch of the shooter was translated in the armrest of the chair. FILO offers a permanent flexibility without mechanics. The chair becomes a tool of concentration for agile humans through the permanent micromovement.
Aluminium die casting, plastic injection moulding and the assembling of the seat and backrest by an hydraulic press eliminated the classical handwork at the industrial production process.
