Solitaire | Low chair with Table for OFFECCT | Designed By Alfredo Haeberli

Solitaire is an upholstered monomaterial piece. It is free-standing and could face in any direction. Its character and important typology is the "fusion" of a low chair with a small table. It is in a way an evolution of the auditorium chair with a writing arm. Solitaire is a low chair with a small table for writing, reading, or eating. And a possible answer to our way of having meetings today. I also designed a second Solitaire with a deep back to use as a shelf.......more

Multipurpose Chair By Alfredo Haeberli For Alias

Segesta is a multipurpose chair that can be used both inside and outside. The use of a new plastic technology Hirek© and the strong character of the design, combined with the flexibility of the back rest and its stackability, are the basis for the enormous success of this chair.

The multiplicity of its use is nearly endless, and the variety of the support frames adds even more possibilities.....more

lounge chair by alfredo haeberli for moroso

The modelling method of rapid prototyping served as the starting point for this design. At the time, I was reading a book about Paul Klee in which he said that when he was drawing, it was like taking the line for a walk. This expression gave me the final theme to design a lightweight structure for a lounge chair with enormous wings. The upholstered version of this came a year later. To be able to sit in it without being concerned about one's shoes was a small detail in this autonomous structure.
