A sculptural chair inspired by Michelangelo's David

Baran Demirok and his emotional design

A timeless surface

According to the designer, the chair is inspired by Michelangelo’s David. “Its pose, static but ready to jump, and the sensations aroused by the naked body and the smooth stone, are the starting points for the product”, he says. “Combining modernity, originality and a simple statement with state-of-the-art technology, the ‘David’ chair puts the noble and sophisticated look of Dekton at the service of everyday furniture”.

Lightweight material

Inspired by natural stone, the texture and look of Dekton were key to this design. “The biggest challenge was to find a material that was not heavy or fragile. The 4 mm thickness of Dekton gave the project the necessary lightness”, explains Demirok. Specifically, the colour chosen was Dekton Opera, in a 4 mm Slim format that gives the design that lightweight look.

A mix of materials

In addition to its lightness, there were many reasons that led the designer to use Dekton for the design of the chair. “Its high durability, the wide range of textures available, the size of the slabs, the sustainability of the material and its sophisticated look”, were some of them. The result is a chair featuring curved lines on the seat and a triangular design with a lot of movement. As a finishing touch, “gold metallic details add an edgy touch, while the veining of Dekton Opera adds harmony to the contrasts”, concludes Demirok.
