Caper Chair

It’s all in the family

It’s all in the family

All too often, good design is expensive. So, we decided to challenge ourselves and create an affordable solution that could accommodate a variety of people in a variety of spaces — and for a variety of purposes. That meant the chair had to be not just comfortable but lightweight and portable.

Truth

Truth

Contoured for the human form with an arch and a give to encourage agile movement, Caper supports a broad range of activities. And the chair’s shape, frame, and weight make for space-efficient storage. It’s easily stackable.

Beauty

Beauty

Caper is an expression of its performance. It’s designed to be simplistic, playful, and lyrical, allowing it to live anywhere in any environment. It’s light both visually and physically.

Outcome

Outcome

Caper is more than a chair. It’s a family. With or without arms, on legs or a single swivel, our goal was to design one product with many uses. Multiple configurations expand the practical functions of its overall design.
