EXOCET CHAIR  :: A new kind of chair for all kinds of moments 



The Exocet™ chair is made of two sections revolving around a cylindrical axis. Each section is built with a series of identical slats interlaced with each other. The Exocet™ chair is built from one basic slat shape. The slats are then slid over a cylinder while flipping them alternatively.  The Exocet™ chair is designed to adjust its configuration to your liking simply by loosening up the handle. Once the desired configuration is obtained, you lock it back in position by tightening the slats with the handle.  The simple curves mold comfortably to lines of a human body, making it as comfortable as it is interesting. EXOCET is both a celebration and an evolution of the transforming furniture idea.

DESIGNARIUM

Designarium is a Design agency based in Montreal. With more than 20 years in the business of branding and graphic design, Stephane Leathead is jumping head first into furniture design. His love of furniture design stems from his teenage years, when he would spend hours in his workshop designing tables and chairs. In the past 10 years, as the associate and creative director of Cellule Design, Stephane designed numerous branding projects that often included three-dimensional shapes or forms. Therefore, furniture design was a natural transition for him. Exocet™ is the first design created by Stephane Leathead for Designarium.
