Where ideas unfold
Named after the Japanese word ori, meaning fold, the Ori Chair by Patrick Norguet is characterised by a subtle opening between the padded seat and back – a folded detail that introduces both lightness and identity while forming the basis of a versatile chair series that unfolds across multiple typologies.
MATERIALS | Seat cushion: Variable-density polyurethane foam with Dacron
padding. Back cushion: Variable-density polyurethane foam with Dacron padding. Base:
Black-stained oak. Structure interior: Frame made of bended plywood. Structure padding: Variable-density
polyurethane foam with Dacron padding. Cover: Fixed.
SIZE | W510 x D595 x H830 x SH485mm
Available with both low and high backrests, and with or without armrests, Ori offers a versatile seating solution suited to a wide range of settings. A selection of metal, wooden and swivel bases allows the chair to adapt naturally across meeting and conference environments, dining areas and collaborative spaces.
“The design relies on folds and stitching to shape the form. The softness of the upholstery is set against the controlled geometry of the frame.”
Patrick Norguet
