DESIGNER YOUNG SIGNER
Michael Young was born in 1966 in Sunderland, a small industrial city in the North-East of England, and over the last 20 years has established himself as one of the leading international figures in his field.
He became known in the industry as a sophisticated minimalist acclaimed for his elegant, pared-down aesthetic design. After nearly a decade working across the U.K. and Iceland, Michael was enticed to Asia by his passion for pioneering technology, and in 2006 set up a studio in Hong Kong.

CARE
-For removal of indigo from denim, use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) with a soft cloth -If water does not clean the chair, use a common solution, like Formula 409 or window cleaner, with a soft cloth. -To clean a chair, start with water and a soft cloth, like microfiber (do not use abrasive cleaners or materials like paper towel). -To remove small scratches on the high gloss chairs (Carbon Weave, Red Fade, and Copper), only wax-based paste, like SC Johnson Paste Wax or Trewax Clear Paste Wax, can be used. Waxing is not recommended for matte chairs (Light Fade, Dark Fade, and Blue), as this will change the matte finish of the chair.

DETAIL
THE INNOVATOR
The first of its kind, with lightness in mind. The original LessThanFive Guest Chair led the way for using carbon fiber in workplace furniture. An iconic form that is as memorable as it is functional, it created a design language that continues to change the way we bring light to work.
WIDER VARIETY
Careful reshaping of the LessThanFive Chair expands on the iconic profile to promote a delightfully comfortable, relaxed posture. It’s a lounge that doesn’t just echo the original LessThanFive Chair; it reimagines it.
LIGHT WORK
Incredibly light and unbelievably strong, only carbon fiber could allow for a cantilevered seat balancing over an x-shaped footrest — creating a new stool typology that securely holds the body with no excess structure or weight.
