reDO Chair

Description

The reDO Chair is a limited edition lawn chair of a soon to be extinct icon that was designed by John Paul Plauche of Plodes Studio. Plauche, who loves to re-incorporate and re-vise the contemporary artifact in his designs, has done just that to this American archetype. With the aim of rediscovering its covert modernity, in 2003 Plauche released his updated version with handcrafted hardwood arm rests, stiched leather silhouette webbing, and a mirror polished aluminum frame. The result is a piece with the same archetypal quality, the same easy charm and high utility, but without the throwaway quality that made the original somewhat disposable. Plauches updating preserves the chairs iconic qualities while introducing new dimensions. Whether used inside or out, whether incorporated as part of an artful homage that pays tribute to the past or as a modern scheme that recognizes how reDO improves upon it, Plauches modern lawn chair appeals to all connoisseurs of American style.

The infamous aluminum tube web chairs that society has taken for granted for so long are restored to accentuate their covertly true modern form. A stitched leather silhouette of the once web, new hardwood armrests, and mirror polished frame not only redefines the chairs physical presence, but also its identity. No longer bound by the outdoors and stereotypes, the reDO chair is elevated to kin chairs with roots in Bauhaus modernism.
