Soul

Soul is a unique and ambitious development and a design for the 21st Century that fully embraces technological advances made since the archetypal origins of the now humble tubular Steel cantilever chair of 80 years ago or so.

The Soul chair literally moves and adjusts to the user's weight, deforming yet supporting and thereby giving substantially greater comfort than one would expect of a non-mechanical chair.

Prices ranging from £129

Features:

PearsonLloyd's Soul chair is a unique and ambitious development resulting from
a long journey of exploration into structural plastics and their strength capabilities
in order to achieve this stunningly elegant yet robust cantilever design for
Allermuir. A design for the 21st Century that embraces technological advances
made since the archetypal origins of the now humble tubular steel cantilever chair
of 80 years ago or so.

The plastic shell provides a sophisticated seating platform that flexes and
responds to the users' movements. With reduced steel content the chair is light
and has a minimum of parts; there are no welds, holes or frame screws.

The tubular legs flow into the progressively slimming planar paddle arms that are
secured with hidden fixings to a floating backrest, the floating aspect producing
a very dynamic relationship between seat and back, maximising comfort. The
subtle twist of the planes in the shell belies the complex structural analysis, but
describes the flow of strength around the chair. The resultant beautifully sculpted
structure creates a rich yet economic design.

A simple plastic seat infill utilises the inherent flexibility within the structure for an
enhanced comfort. With optional upholstered seat pad and a range of coloured
backrest options, the use and perception of the chair can be changed.
