지금이라도 당장 달려 나갈 기세인 흔들의자; 레트로 디자인의 DNA는 빈티지 자전거의 전통적인 프레임 제작방식과 클래식 자전거 부품의 일부 사용을 통해 완성된다. 유연한 스틸 프레임과 우드 그리고 진한 가죽이 매치를 이루며 클래식 디자인의 정수를 보여준다.
two makers (andrew mcdonald and simon taylor) tap into traditional bicycle frame-building techniques to envision ‘the randonneur’ chair. drawing on the formal geometries of the long-distance two-wheeler after which it is named, the seating object has been realized using the methods employed in the hand-crafted racing and touring bikes manufactured by master constructeurs of the 1940s.
the framework of ‘the randonneur’ is assembled with reynolds 631 air-hardening heat-treated steel tubing — still regarded today as the ultimate bicycle tubing material — and features a seat made from sustainable sapele hardwood (chosen for rockers), with finishes in fine bicycle saddle leather from brooks, england. the resulting furniture piece is a celebration of cycling and bespoke british craftsmanship which offers a balance of strength, weight and comfort in its design.
