The Perillo Chair by Martin Ballendat
German designer Martin Ballendat has designed a new chair for the Switzerland based furniture manufacturer Züco Bürositzmöbel.
From Züco:
What is striking about Züco’s new Ballendat-designed lounge chair is its futuristic design and its extravagant appearance. The seat surface, backrest, armrests and sub-frame follow a flowing, uninterrupted line and seamlessly come together to produce a single unit. The front and rear surfaces are oriented towards each other and create a sensuous geometry. Martin Ballendat’s emotional design really does capture the spirit of the times.

“The main objective when developing the product was to create a piece of furniture which is also a true showpiece,” said the designer. “In a world which is geared towards efficiency and economy, ‘Perillo’ offers a welcome and exciting contrast when compared to the sterile linearity of many modern buildings.”

Rarely comment on furniture design but this definitely shines imo. The white chair looks almost like some out of a Syd Mead painting.
