Info - This chair was
designed for the Swiss National Exhibition ‘Landesausstellung’ which was nicknamed ‘Landi’
which was how the chair got it’s name. It is Coray’s
best known piece. This is a very light, strong and durable chair. It only
weighs 7 pounds (3kg) and is stackable, making it very practical. The back and
seat are made from a single piece of aluminium and the legs are screwed on. The
holes punched in the seat and back make the chair lighter and create graphic
patterns and shadows. It is suitable for use inside and outside, but is mainly
used outside. It is available in either plain aluminium or with a white or
cream finish.
