This timeless and minimalist lounge chair was designed in 1997 by Marc Newson for the Komed Restaurant in Cologne and for the Canteen Restaurant in Soho, New York. The chair has a painted steel structure, and an injection-moulded polyurethane seat upholstered in leather or fabric in various solid colours. The base acts as the internal structure of the chair. What gives the Komed chair its character is the fact that the seat part is both horizontally and vertically symmetrical.
