Corvo

A vimeo of the manufacturing process of one of my favourite chairs of last/this year. The dimensions and their precision are immaculate and furthermore exemplified by the fact it's made from wood. It speaks of modernity and successful pseudo bespoke-ism (yes, I made that word up). For me, undoubtedly one of the most stylish chairs I've ever seen. And I love how each one is manufactured and sanded by hand by the French designer Noe Duchaufour Lawrance in a North Carolina factory, instead of produced by a 5-axis CNC router. This adds so much personality which is special from an object so refined.
Introducing... Corvo.
