Gertrude Stein used to say: “A rose is a rose is a rose”. Namely, anything can only be what it is. However, she also meant that we tend to confer personal and universal emotions to a specific name. A design object stands out for aesthetic, shape, and color, as well as for manageability and functionality. Yet, only a chair has the power to disappear from our sight as we are using it, and if we forget about it while sitting, then it means it is very comfortable; it welcomes the weight of our body and allows us to rest, to work or to sit at a table for a long time. Indeed, it fully fulfills our expectations about sitting. At home, in a café, at the office, wherever we utilize it. The act of sitting is even more frequent than eating or drinking. We sit tens of times a day without even noticing this automatic yet fundamental action. Only an uncomfortable seat can be felt and noticed as soon as we sit down on it. Holi is a chair that will embrace your body at the right height, allowing you to comfortably relax your back while maintaining slim, non-encumbering proportions. The collection offers a wide range of sitting solutions, with or without armrests, and two different heights for the stools, which are all stackable. Holi was designed with either a closed or a perforated seat, creating an ideal stylistic continuum between indoor and outdoor furniture to satisfy any living-space requirement. The metallic structure is painted in the same shade as the polypropylene shell, giving the impression of a monoblock element.
I ordered the Holi Side Chair the Holi Stacking Side Chair chairs in the Olive Green color. The color is absolutely beautiful! Even prettier in person than depicted in the photos.
The chairs arrived together and were only a few pieces to assemble. I love these chairs!! My only complaint is that underneath the seats there are covers for the bolts that extend from the bottom of the chair. These bolt covers are presumably to prevent the bolts from scratching the seat underneath it when the chairs are stacked. Unfortunately, neither my husband nor I could get the covers to stay on- they would immediately pop back off. We tried varying combinations thinking that,although they all look identical, perhaps they were slightly different. However, despite every possible combo, they just will not stay on. We still love the chairs but we are unable to stack them for fear of scratching the seats.
All in all, these are beautiful, well-made chairs and we are pleased with how they look in our home and on our patio.. Leanne. Tucson, AZ. Mon Jan 03 2022
