Prototype of a “Dakar” staking chair, Marco Dessi *,
Austria, 2011, aluminium tubes, bent and matt grey coated aluminium sheet, coated braiding, riveted seat, height 80 cm, width 46 cm, depth 58 cm, height of seat 47.5 cm. (DR)
Marco Dessi’s stackable aluminium chair “Dakar” is not just fun and ultra light, but also somewhat of a lesson in thoughtful construction. The design of the backrest, which is made out of only one metal sheet, demonstrates both the stability and flexibility of the material when cleverly applied: covering the tube metal legs of the chair like a dress, the bent metal sheet results in a backrest of great stability, and still it gives way like a spring when you lean back. The choice of material makes “Dakar” a light baut extremely durable piece of furniture suitable for outdoors just as much as indoors. Like other designs by Dessi, it creates the impression as if it could be taken apart into its basic components within seconds. His constructive approach once more reminds us of earlier and more transparent stages of mechanization while being totally contemporary.
