The Cord Chair by Jacques Guillon
Originally Designed in 1953 by Canadian designer Jacques Guillon, the Cord Chair has been out of production for more than 40 years. Avenue Road, a Toronto based manufacturer, has announced they will be re-issuing the chair, beginning in August of 2009. Constructed in a solid maple wood frame and finished with either a walnut wood veneer or black lacquer, the chair’s material integrity is true to Jacques Guillon’s authentic design. The seat and back are fully strung in either white or black 8-strand braided cord.

The projet answers to this request of separation by adding a third space making the partition. The creation of a “multiple-use furniture” in the middle of the space allows to add some depth to the primary basic partition. It afford passages, secret storage, bed, office… in a funny way.
