The name Sekitei is taken from the Zen gardens that inspired this armchair: the lines of the seat resemble the winding curves drawn through sand or white gravel by Japanese rakes according to an age-old art. The foam cushion also recalls this pattern with designs in white thread against black fabric or black thread against white fabric. Sekitei is created by bending and calendering 14 stainless steel pipes, each 2 cm thick and available in black and white. The specialised finish of the steel and the waterproof fabric of the cushion also make the armchair suitable for outdoor use.
