Möbius Chair – Frans Schrofer

When I saw this chair I was blown away by how much the designer had pushed the boundaries of laminated ply curving. The chair was named Möbius for its resemblance of a continuous and twisted ribbon of wood.

Designed by Dutch designer Frans Schrofer of Studio Schrofer, the Möbius Chair was conceived for a competition conducted by Fritz Becker, a German manufacturer of formed wood products.

Not only was it a finalist in the competition, the Möbius was also selected to be among 25 other designs to be prototyped and displayed during the Interzum 2009 exhibition.
