The present chair is made from ‘grown’ nickel, referring to the process by which the chair was made: it was electroformed, where a form or plug is put into an electrolytic bath, and the metal form then ‘grows’ around it, atom by atom. This both ensures structural integrity, and allows the chair to be strong, thin and perfectly seamless.

Phillips wishes to thank Marc Newson Studio for their assistance in cataloguing the present lot.
