LINDE FREYA TANGELDER

The most important thing when creating this new version of the ‘Medallion’ chair – named ‘Sage’ for the greyish-green colour of its smoothed aluminium surface – was preserving the elegance that the original represents. Born in the Netherlands, the founder of Destroyers/Builders studio is focused on testing the limits and potentials of materials, with much of her work sanded or lacquered meticulously by hand. The surface of her chair is no exception, consisting entirely of rounded shapes that remind the designer of glossy pebbles, eroded and shaped by the sea. The result, she says, is ‘pure and timeless, dénudé [pared back]’. destroyersbuilders.com
