May Chair, Outdoor, Steel, Light Grey

The May series takes the New Works universe alfresco with outdoor furniture for the garden, patio, or balcony. Made from powder coated steel, this hard-wearing furniture family consists of stackable chairs with and without armrests and tables in two lengths, harmoniously coordinated to complement each other.
The understated, monochromatic appearance of the May family is detailed without being technical. The chair leads the way for the defining interactions of the design in which a delicate surface meets a bold frame - two opposing elements which somehow comfortably coexist. As the light steel sheet tightly wraps itself around the chunky steel frame, it forms a strong and comfortable seat, slightly curved so that it gently hugs the body. A slit through the seat allows for water drainage and adds a subtle detail to the otherwise uniform surface. Mirrored in the tables, it creates a repetition of lines that brings lightness, direction, and unity to the family.
