FLIP ­ 1998 ­ Porro The brief for this project was to provide a contemporary chair for domestic and contract use with marked hommage payed to an historic icon. Thus the choice was made to explore the modern potential of moulded plywood, first introduced by Herman Miller and Fritz Hansen in the 1940s. The result was a stacking chair in veneer and laquered finishes with a flexible seat back. Variable section thickness was introduced for the first time to the mould plywood parts, combining originality and refinement.
