Gesto Armchair explores the economics of space utilisation through its capacity to fold and be moved with ease. It follows the architectural idea that the rituals of living can overlap and shift to suit our needs. With a simple gesture, the chair, the user, and the space transform together. The chair’s lightness helps to facilitate this change. The use of steam-bent timber reduces material waste and gives the structure enhanced resilience through the continuous fibres that span each member. The economy of this approach showcases craft as a discipline of restraint—working with only what is needed and shaping with clarity to strengthen our bonds with the spaces and environments we inhabit. Materials: Black Walnut, brass, braided cord
