Set Of 4x Chairs, Design Komed By Marc Newson For The Company Colber Italy 1996

Marc Newson – Set of 4 "Komed" Chairs, 1996 Design: Marc Newson · Produced by Colber, Italy · Exclusive commission, Bar Osman, Mediapark Cologne

A set of four "Komed" chairs designed by Marc Newson in 1996 for the interior of the Bar Osman in the Komed Haus, Mediapark Cologne. The furniture was produced exclusively for this commission by the Italian manufacturer Colber. The orange fabric upholstery corresponds to the variant created simultaneously for the Canteen Restaurant in Soho, New York — both projects being concurrent Newson commissions for high-profile commercial interiors.

The chair features a lacquered tubular steel frame with an injection-moulded polyurethane seat upholstered in orange wool fabric. The design, both horizontally and vertically symmetrical, is characteristic of Newson's formal vocabulary of the mid-1990s.
