The Metropolis Armchair, by Roderick Vos, uses geometrics to create clean lines and modern style. The “perfect balance was sought” between the seat and the back of the chair, and the frame is made of epoxy coated metal tubing. I must say, for such an airy design using so much metal, it actually looks pretty comfortable. But I think to pull it off this chair requires skillful placement in the right environment — I’m not sure why but I keep thinking “dentist’s office waiting room.” Available at Apartment Zero starting at $2315.
