AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Slide Chair repurposes offcuts from aluminum curtain rails, transforming their industrial profile into a precise and functional seating element. By bending and reshaping the extruded form, the design highlights the rail’s unique geometry—merging structure and comfort in a minimal silhouette.

Designed in Copenhagen and made from aluminum containing 76% recycled content.
The prototype was presented in a fair in Sweden and was featured in different magazines like Elle Decoration Japan.

As a prototype, the piece shows some light surface marks and produces a small creaking noise from the assembly, though it remains fully stable and structurally strong.

This makes it a special opportunity to own a singular, early-stage piece that won’t exist in the same form again.


Details
Technique: Precision-cut and manually bent aluminum extrusion
Material: Curtain rail offcuts (76% recycled aluminum)
Finish: Yellow Spray Painted
