Key facts
Product description
Konstantin Grcic’s Rival Chair represents a fresh approach to the wooden chair. The legs are milled from one piece of solid birch, taking on a fluid quality more similar to moulded plastic than timber. The low back, made of form-pressed birch lamella, offers a high degree of flexibility, defining the sitter’s range of movements.
Rival is Artek’s first chair with a swivel function. The upholstered seat, available in a choice of textiles and colours, conceals a clever aluminium “knot” that rests in a polypropylene “socket,” allowing a circular movement. The graceful lines of the Rival Chair mean it swivels effortlessly from office to dining table.

Concept
While the chair is primarily for sitting, it must support a range of functions; it may be used for working, dining, or resting, for short periods or long durations. A good chair is portable and can be moved from desk to dining table to kitchen. It may be displayed singly or as part of a group, around a table or on its own. Artek chairs support the sitter, assisting good posture and providing ergonomic comfort. Aesthetically appealing, durable, and adaptable, they rise to the challenges of contemporary living.
