Italian furniture manufacturer Gufram was looking to expand their repertoire in the dining chair department so they reached out to designer Karim Rashid for the task. Wanting a fun and playful design, the Bounce chair fulfills that and then some. It’s stackable, works both indoors and out, and comes with a “pop soul”.
Bounce can be defined as the new icon of pop functionalism. It is pop because it is irreverent, fresh and bright, thanks to its elements that can be composed in an infinite kaleidoscope of possibilities; these make Bounce a product well versed in blending with any domestic landscape. It is functionalist because, if form must follow function, in this case the elements’ geometry is
proportioned to be self carrying and to guarantee fastening to the metal structure. The comfortable effect is given by the softness and the springback which are typical of a padded seat, even if there is no padding.
