EXHIBITION: 22-27 April, 11 am – 7 pm
JDS proposes ‘Collapse’, a collapsable chair that folds into a wafer thin plate. Its mechanism is simple and robust, its design frank and timeless. It doesn’t try to appear as something new or hopelessly claim another style, but instead proposes an efficient and effortless way to store, ship and sit on a chair.


JDS TAKES PART IN THE “LA MANO DELL’ARCHITETTO – THE HAND OF THE ARCHITECT” PROJECT
