Made from 2mm punched steel sheet, gas welded and powder coated the design is based on a prototype for a plastic outdoor chair made last year.

The original chair  took over a week to fabricate and finish. The designer says, "it took many hours to get all the holes to line up on the hidden joins" and said of his design "this chair looks so simple in its form but beneath its almost invisible skin lies months of prototyping that makes a perfectly balanced form. This will become a design classic of the future”. 

The original working title for this piece was The Duck which was changed to Is this the coolest chair ever made? as reaction to seeing the finished design emerging from the enormous powder coating machine in Sweden.

‘Wow that’s fucking cool’.  As a little joke and a big wind up the title was changed to exemplify the chair fabulous ventilation and craftsmanship and thus leading to a torrent of blogged abuse on a number of design websites.  It is now called the Cool Chair.

The Cool Chair will be exhibited as part of Nick Dexters latest garden design presented at this years Chelsea flower show. see left
