Tokujin Yoshioka‘s PANE chair is made of a sheet of plastic fibers rolled into a cardboard tube and baked in an oven to retain its shape. It was the fruit of a three-year design process in which he aimed to invent a completely new chair unlike any other. He named it after the Italian word for bread, but not only because of the fabrication process:
‘I believe that a “deliciously” comfortable PANE chair with an original feel has been baked by the innovative process of a new idea, material and structure.’
