Olivia Meillassoux et Céline Coutard : Rolling Chair

Jeune designer nantaise fraichement diplômée de l'Ecole de Design de Nantes Atlantique, Olivia Meillassoux a conçu la "Rolling Chair" avec Céline Coutard.

Inspirée de la célèbre chaise Eames en fibre de verre et résine, elle est réalisée en fines bandes de bambou et résine naturelle, comme une relecture écologique du classique des années.

Olivia Meillassoux précise:

"This chair is a “redesign of the Eames chair”, a design icon of the 50‘s, made of fibreglass and resin. Our first idea was to redesign it according to the eco conception principle. We decided to use bamboo, rolling up small strips with ecological resin. Like in the Eames chair, the fibers are very apparent, and the outside of chair is painted in a bright color. Feet were made of natural wood and simply screwed in the seat. We wanted our chair to have contrast: the outside very homogeneous, smooth, lacquered, and the interior rough, lively, with some unevenness. It is like a rough stone that has been polished so as to become a precious stone. This chair evokes natural, free, and organic forms."
