Description
Belgian Designer And Interior Architect Maarten Van Severen Was An Idiosyncratic Figure On The International Design Scene. His Work Was Noted For Its Intense Engagement With A Few Basic Furniture Types, Such As The Chair, Table, Chaise Longue, Shelving And Cabinet, For Which He Developed Fundamental Solutions.
This Included The Cnº Ii Chair (Later .02), Introduced In 1992. This Chair, With Its Simplicity Of Form, Has A Seat And Backrest Crafted From A Continuous Piece Of Material – A Sheet Of Aluminium Or Thin Plywood – Set On An Aluminium Base. The Cnº Ii Formed The Basis For His Subsequent Collaboration With Vitra To Develop The .03 Chair, Which Was Introduced To The Market In 1998 And Marked His International Emergence As A Designer.
Exactly One-Sixth The Size Of The Historical Originals, The Chairs Are All True To Scale And Precisely Recreate The Smallest Details Of Construction, Material And Colour.
The High Standard Of Authenticity Even Extends To The Natural Grain Of The Wood, The Reproduction Of Screws And The Elaborate Handicraft Techniques Involved. This Has Made The Miniatures Into Popular Collector’S Items As Well As Ideal Illustrative Material For Universities, Design Schools And Architects.
