.03
Maarten Van Severen, 1998
The extraordinary comfort of the unobtrusive .03 chair is first revealed upon use: the seat shell, which is made of resilient integral skin polyurethane foam, adapts to the user's body and flexes slightly when the sitter leans back, aided by leaf springs embedded in the backrest.

Product family
.03
The aesthetic hallmark of the .03 chair is its sleek, slim shape – a design that can be seen as an expression of the concept ‘less is more’. At the same time, the chair is unexpectedly comfortable: made of resilient polyurethane integral foam, the linear shape of the seat shell adapts to the body. When the sitter leans back, the upper part of the backrest yields slightly – a pleasant sensation created by the integrated leaf springs. The extraordinary comfort of .03 is first revealed upon use.
