We were revamping the A-1880 chair, this model is a classic bentwood chair from Paged portfolio. We were tasked with revamping this model, which turned out to be quite a challenge at the beginning since we saw how much time it takes to develop a new shape or make some changes in the form of the chair.

First step was a visit to the Paged factory, where we saw how the chairs are made. This is quite a long process. depending on the work of many people.

We decided to put some sparks into the process by slightly burning the structure of the A-1880, painting it afterwards in hues of orange and blue. This burning, inspired by the Japanese yakisugi technique, made the wood's natural pattern more pronounced at the risk of burning down the workshop.

Luckily, the we survived and managed to put the finishing touches by adding a brass ball detail serving as… a purse hanger. One of the balls has an engraved star - a spark which is our logo but also a symbol of a spark that started this fire. Photo: Ernest Wińczyk / @wunderkamera.studio
