Dutch designer Bam Geenen of Studio Geenen has designed a chair using hanging chains to determine its form. Called Gaudi Chair, the piece is made of a carbon-fibre weave and a glass-reinforced nylon rib structure. It is based upon architect Antoni GaudÃ’s modelling method used to design arches of optimum strength.
