Tom Dixon - Fat chair Hero 2 fabric A

Fat, our new series of upholstered chairs, is designed to wrap the body and allow for more sitting positions. The extreme simplicity of the components is a testimony of how the shape descends from the function. Meanwhile, Fat maintains a witty silhouette and a reductionist aesthetic. Really an exercise in balance.
