D70 Optimist Lounge Chair

The interplay of geometric figures characterizes the D70 Optimist Lounge Chair. The trapezoid of the backrest, the triangle of the front legs and an unusual oval on the seat. It invites you to try it out: legs up - you can even fit a book or laptop next to it. An iconographic, clear design that quickly reveals the references to Tecta and the Bauhaus.

D70 was designed by Marco Dessí. Since founding his own design studio in 2007, he has realized a number of projects. Dessí's approach is practical and collaborative, design is seen as an interactive process. Self-initiated projects serve to experiment with materials and challenge processes that will later be applied to commercial projects or further developed for industrial or craft reproduction processes. In his work, Dessí attaches great importance to transparency in the sense of a consistent link between the design process and actual production conditions.
The D70 is the first piece of furniture that designer Marco Dessí built for Tecta, although he has been interested in “flying furniture” for a long time.
