• More Info - This chair was designed for Cappellini. It is a simple smooth shape and is available in many colours. It only has three legs, the front two legs are joined and run through the chair. The Embryo chair was the first Newson chair to go into production. The Embryo chair looks familiar now, but its rounded shape was radically new 20 years ago. Newson said “no one was making things in bright colours that were curvy and seductive and sensual. I’d been subconsciously developing a style, and with that piece I think I defined what that style was.”
