These qualities have been utilised in the Mobius Chair to create an intriguing, timeless piece. The bold design is an embodiment of infinity, creating a feeling of fluidity, of never-ending movement. Its unique shape and structure allow this piece to blend form and function, creating a comfortable piece that may also serve as work of art.
