Dornob‘s done it again, this time with a unique take on economic, stackable chairs.
Design? Meet function!
The Triplette Chair by French designer Paul Menand is a sight for sore eyes for yours truly. I used to work in a liquor store with a tasting room, and for every event we had to set up tables and chairs for our customers.
Cue entry into the cobwebbed storeroom, filled with stacks of bent old nested chairs. They were a nightmare to separate and even worse to stack again. Even though they were upholstered, they weren’t very comfortable, and at 5’4″ I can tell you that lifting one of the metal monsters above your head to try and stack it so that it won’t fall on you while you’re negotiating the stack back into the closet isn’t fun.
Menand solved my problem and thousands others like it, not to mention the woes of entertaining in small loft spaces, with his Triplette. Who doesn’t want three chairs in one? The best part of this design is that the “storage container” can be used as a single chair when you’re not in need of extra seating.
