Conde House : Sash Stacking Side Chair : Japan : 1989

The Sash Chair is a wood-framed side chair with arms. Its graceful form, fully upholstered seat and back, and sophisticated detailing belie the chair's added attraction: Sash stacks, up to four chairs high.

The form of the chair frame is derived from the shear plane required for stacking. The outside faces are flat for smooth stacking; the inside faces are rounded for the sitter's comfort. The connection between the arm and the leg is accomplished by means of a polished aluminum bracket set as an expressed detail.
