Stellar
Designed by Sander Mulder
The bold geometric lines, reminiscent of modern aviation and military insignia, are reimagined and softened to create a calm, versatile design that feels both functional and inviting. Distinctive triangular shapes and angular details at the back and base highlight the chair’s structural strength, offering a subtle visual contrast to the smooth, ergonomic curves of the seat and backrest, designed for comfort and ease.
