New from the Fritz Hansen collection comes the Rin Chair. Rin was created by Japanese furniture designer Hiromichi Konno. Like many of Fritz Hansen's other masterpieces, Rin draws its inspiration from modern design staples such as Series 7 and the Ant chair by Arne Jacobesen. Hiromichi explains: "My first idea was to make a beautiful chair that stimulates and awakens emotions. Therefore, I have established something poetical, simple, strong, relaxed and innovative all at the same time. The goal from the beginning was to create the perfect chair." I like the flexibility in this chair as it works in offices to living rooms. The nice, simple design is easy on the eyes and fits into modern decorating themes easily. Product information: here.
