A winning proposal that reuses old steel chair bases with new bentwood shells. Disparate legs create individuality in a room full of the same chairs, speaking about their past while the uniform new tops keep the chaos intact. The bentwood shell provides flexible comfort without the need for upholstery, which makes reusing the chairs easier down the road.
