CYBORG LORD ARMCHAIR
CYBORG LORD ARMCHAIR
Designed by Marcel Wanders studio
The design of the Cyborg armchair is based on an industrial part consisting of the four very simple plastic legs, almost basic, deliberately “non-designed” and on an artisanal “designed” part, the backrest, which can be made of wicker, polycarbonate, solid wood or upholstered with covers in fine fabrics or in leather.
And tomorrow i could be made of other materials. It is precisely the backrest that dictates the chair’s expressive and aesthetic quality. Therefore, a never-ending design story.

FINISHES
DESIGN
In 1960 the scientist, inventor and musician Manfred Clynes coined the term cyborg, which then grew ever more popular thanks to innumerable sci-fi novels and films; it designates an organism that combines natural and artificial elements.
Marcel Wanders Studio interprets this fusion as the expression of a continuous search for new combinations, in today’s world, where it seems there is nothing truly new left to in vent. This is the background to the creation of Cyborg, a seat with a highly resistant and versatile polycarbonate shell.
The seat can then be completed with backrests in a selection of different natural or synthetic materials: from polycarbonate to wicker, from solid wood to the upholstered versions with fabric or leather cover. This further evolution of the chair is in equal parts poetic and technological, cosy and surprising, in keeping with the widest range of different settings.
