The simplest things are sometimes the finest – o4i Designstudio’s Zesty chair is a perfectly practical demonstration of this.
July 5th, 2013
With a distinctive leg and slender seat profile, Zesty is stackable, lending itself perfectly to installations requiring greater flexibility without the need to forgo style.

The chair integrates a moulded Birch plywood frame with the outer layer finished to house veneer or stain, its exposed plywood edge offering a stratified, charming detail.

The simplicity and fluidity of shape broadens Zesty’s appeal for use across corporate, public and residential applications.
