Catalogue Note
The Void series, in all its various guises, are formed by two ellipses joined into a rocking body that is also a comfortable chaise longue. From this core concept, Arad created different chairs by varying the material, proportions, colours, weights and voids. The current design formed part of the first series released, shown as 'The Paperwork Collection' at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2002, which was designed especially to exploit the properties and characteristics of lightweight composite structures.
