A Washington Skeleton Aluminum Side Chair designed by Sir David Adjaye. The chair body and legs are constructed from pieces of casted aluminum coated with copper plating. The chair has a cantilever design, with forked front legs that support the entire body of the chair. The chair body is constructed from a single piece of casted metal. It is armless, with a contemporary shaped chair back that widens at the shoulders, and a molded seat with slightly rounded edges and corners. The casted body features an open weave lattice design that integrates triangles, squares, rectangles, and chevrons in a symmetrical pattern. On the underside of the chair, near the seat edge, is a reproduction of the artist’s signature and the manufacturing information in raised, molded text that reads [David Adjaye / KnollStudio 2013].
