Swiss studio big-game launches silent for valerie_objects
_a 'no fringe' chair
After working for renowned brands such as Alessi, Hermès, Hay and Muji, the Lausanne-based studio Big-Game now collaborates with valerie_objects for a collection of chairs called silent. The name refers to the noiselessness of the result: the chairs contain no fringes at all and every screw or piece of technicality has been meticulously hidden, creating a design chair that ‘can’t be any more clean’, as Big-Game puts it.
_visual quietness
To emphasize the visual quietness, an archetypical church chair was used as the starting point: a very straight design in sturdy ash wood with barely any diagonals. In other words, a very silent chair. Yet, the devil is in the details. To ensure modern comfort, Big-Game added slight curves in the back and the seat of the chair, as well as a version with armrests.
