London Design Museum – Designs of the Year 2012: 1.3 Chair
“Inspired by wooden British bomber the De Havilland DH 98 Mosquito, the 1.3 Chair is constructed from compressed balsa wood with a hardwood veneer to give structural stability, as well as limewood. At only 1.28 kilograms the chair is even lighter than Gio Ponti’s 1957 Superleggera chair, which weighed in at 1.7 kilograms.”
