"Ekstrem" by Terje Ekstrøm, 1984,
Ekstrem™ is not merely a chair, but rather a stand-alone object. It represents one of Norway’s first postmodern designs. The chair’s playful and unapologetic appearance is adorned by design enthusiasts and children alike.
Designed with ergonomic intention, Ekstrem™ is a functional sculpture with a soft and inviting surface which offers comfort and support.
Ekstrem™ is an open framework constructed of fabric-covered foam over a steel frame. The chair consists of two identical mirror-facing steel frames which are covered by polyurethane foam. This provides a soft support layer covering all surfaces of the chair.
The upholstery fabric is then manually fitted to the intricate cylinder forms. Finally, the two parts are carefully assembled together resulting in an extraordinarily eye-catching piece of furniture.
