.03 High
Maarten Van Severen, 2011
.03 High facilitates dynamic work at a stand-up table. The sleek, height-adjustable seat made of polyurethane foam has integrated metal springs that make it surprisingly comfortable to sit on, while an angled support provides a footrest. The chair does not have any armrests, making it suitable for sitting in different sideways positions.
