About this product
Architonic ID: 1509491
Year of Launch: 2015
Berlin-based designers David Geckeler and Frank Michels – who have always taken a keen interest in materials and technology – are the creative talents behind the recently expanded Bias collection. There is now a lounge chair to go with the table that was presented at the Salone del Mobile in 2015. It all began with the idea of a fluttering sheet of paper resting gracefully on
a sloping cylinder. The minimalist body calls to mind Finnish chairs made of sheets of wood.
A considerable amount of wood is used in the Bias collection, which can cater to a wide variety of contemporary needs. It is bursting with personality, so
it is more than capable of standing alone in living spaces and the different spheres of the contract market.
There is also a padded version available with thin but high-density foam for superior comfort. Its outstanding originality and innovation are inspired by new ergonomic approaches based on modern lifestyles.
Concept
A leaning cylinder and slender top meet to create this small table completely made of oak veneered plywood. A perfect combination of dynamism and stability, attentive craftsmanship and clean lines. The cylindrical base, with a diameter of 38 or 50 cm, has no visible joints, resulting in an impeccable appearance. The open space between top and base acts as a functional grip when moving.

GECKELER MICHELS
Germany
Profile GECKELER MICHELS is a berlin-based design duo formed by David Geckeler and Frank Michels. Both designers met during their studies and founded their studio in 2013. Since the beginning, the duo is working on designs in the field of furniture, tableware, lighting and accessories. GECKELER MICHELS’ style matrix combines german design roots with an undogmatic and eclectic approach between the many aestehtic discourses of present time. For the designers, approaching new projects always goes along with the appropriation of a related vocabulary. In their eyes it is a crucial way to articulate integral and outstanding answers. A focus on cutting-edge concepts and a passion for material and technology can be stated as the main impulses for creating accurate and subtle products.
