The Button chair, by Giopato & Coombes, reinterprets the past in a harmonious blend of different compositional elements. The slightly curved seat and back have sinuous, rounded forms emphasised by padding that accentuates the thickness. "Pleating" enhance
s the chair's generous shape and contour and lends a sense of three-dimensionality to the side panels by creating a delicate play of light and shadow. In contrast, the natural-wood structure is austere and linear, serving both to support and connect the
chair's main elements.
