Remo Chair

Design Konstantin Grcic, 2016
Polypropylene, metal frame
Made in Italy by Plank

“I wasn’t convinced it could work: to take the geometry of a plywood seat shell and turn it into a plastic injection molding….Thanks to the “unorthodox” transition from a wooden chair to a plastic one, we have unintentionally created a simple and beautiful plastic chair – one that we would never have done otherwise.” -Konstantin Grcic

The inspiration for Remo is derived from its aesthetic, the seat resembles a paddle or oar. Remo in Italian means “oar.” The chair’ defining feature is a sophisticated interlocking joint that attaches the curved shell of the seat and the horizontal back rest to form a T shape.

Konstantin Grcic trained as a cabinet maker at Parnham College in England and studied design at the Royal College of Art in London.
