The perfect chair is like a ballet dancer: Extremely graceful, yet flexible and strong. The combination of the ‘paper-thin’ skeleton, which springs lightly from the frame, and the curving form exude energy and gives Genus both personality and character. I think it’s a chair that speaks to you. Whatever choice of armrest you make, Genus always has the same unmistakable and personal ‘signature’, even though it completely changes character. The thin springs add to the impression of lightness, while the sculptural rubber coated arm rests add to the chairs personality due to its comfortable feel.

Genus has its roots in Scandinavian furniture culture, reflecting innovations concerning ecology and minimal use of resources. A chair which radiates elegance, simplicity and flexibility with its light shell and spring effect back, allowing for moveable dynamic comfort. The armrests enable suspension on the edge of a table to optimise space, leaving the floor clear for thorough cleaning. Genus is very much an “individualist” design concept, where you can build your own chair. You’re only limited by the dimensions of the room – and your imagination.
Genus has received several awards, including The Architectural Review Award for Product Excellence at Spectrum, London; the Gold Award – Best of NeoCon, Chicago and the Le Prix de la Fonctionnalité, Paris.
Usage: Genus is also seen as a “family” chair concept, since it easily adapts to multi-functional settings such as upscale cafes, restaurants, conference rooms and meeting environments.
The Genus chair programme is designed by KOMPLOT Design.
