PLATEAU Chair Wins Prestigious Red Dot Award

March 19, 2012 - PRLog -- The initial design for the PLATEAU lounge chair aimed for one goal: to create a relaxing chair that fits the way we live today, where work and play interplay effortlessly. With its right armrest forming a “plateau,” this namesake detail serves as a table for a laptop, or a coffee, or a ledge to create a personal space. The Red Dot Award comes in the wake of small design changes to the original version - now with a four-star base, Erik Magnussen also streamlined the backrest further to emphasize the Plateau’s slim silhouette. With a highly polished, easy-to-clean aluminum base, available with or without an automatic return swivel, the PLATEAU offers a fresh take on distinctive seating that is easy to use and care for - the very definition of modern simplicity.

The PLATEAU lounge chair is available in fabric or leather, and with or without an automatic return swivel base. Prices start under $4,000.
