This is an interesting combination of materials and a usage of Gaudi's structural ideas in order to create a very light weight chair. The structure of the chair is composed of polyamide, which is reinforces and cove red on top with a carbon-fiber laminates. The carbon fiber resist the compressive forces from top and the structure underneath resist the tensile forces caused by the carbon laminate. The structure of the chair was designed after a series of tests borrowed from Gaudi, who used gravity and weights in order to determine perfect structural system for his church designes. The chair weights a little more than 2 Lb and has very low production cost due to very high tech design solutions.
