Designed for HAY by Danish designer and long-time collaborator Jonas Trampedach, Type Chair’s name and aesthetics are derived from the perception of an archetypal chair. Type’s distinctively shaped back gives it a uniform sculptural expression that reinforces the chair’s sense of familiarity while retaining its own unique character.
We visited Jonas Trampedach in his studio in the heart of Copenhagen to learn more about the design.
