halo
2014
The concept behind the Halo chair was originally to design an object that could best define and present the potential of Hypetex material. Hypetex is the world’s first coloured carbon fibre brand. It has been developed by engineers from Formula One, with over 20 years experience of working with carbon fibre. The chair follows the modernist rules of form and function with the removal of all unnecessary clutter which is juxtaposed with the decorative aesthetic given by the material. The strength and elasticity of the material allowed a bold aesthetic which would have been unthinkable with other any material or production technique.
Designed for Michael Sodeau Studio in collaboration with Hipetex F1 engineers.
