10 YEARS OF AN ICON - IMOLA CHAIR

CELEBRATING UNIQUE DANISH DESIGN Imola’s shape is inspired by one of the two swirling halves of a tennis ball. The curves of its form are juxtaposed by the sharp edges of its side panels. That mix gives the design tension and elevates the viewer’s sense of visual comfort. Unlike most chairs, where curves are typically expressed as parts of a circle – perhaps a quarter or an eighth – Imola’s curves are fluid and truly organic. As Designer Henrik Pedersen puts it, “It was more about the flow of the pen than rules of geometry. This year, we honour the classic design by making six hundred all-black limited editions, with numbered plaque, brochure and certificate of authenticity.
