A designer discussion at Zenith

Kent Parker on developing the BE chair.

August 3rd, 2010

Design discussions are high on the agenda at this year’s Saturday in Design and one not-to-be-missed event is Kent Parker’s appearance at Zenith.

The lead designer on Formway’s BE Chair will be discussing the design journey that resulted in this exciting new office chair.

The BE Chair – now available at Zenith Interiors – is a unique, award-winning office chair offering freedom of movement and support for the range of postures and tasks performed throughout the day.

From 4pm until 430pm on Saturday 7 August, the Flinders Lane Showroom will be hosting this special discussion.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
