ARPON CHAIR IS INTRODUCED
A dialogue between engineering logic and cultural memory.
ARPON is one of the most distinctive designs within the UNEVEN OBJECTS universe - a chair born at the intersection of engineering precision and architectural heritage. Its concept is inspired by the Camp Olímpic de Tir amb arc pavilion in Barcelona, designed by Enric Miralles in 1989, whose structural language combined geometric discipline with fluid, tangential curves.
The name ARPON (“harpoon”) reflects this duality. It evokes precision, tension and anchoring - technical elements that define how structures resist, hold and transfer force. The chair captures this feeling of internal tension, as if its form emerges at the very moment when geometry strains toward movement.
Its silhouette merges several layers of meaning: a fragment of an architectural structure, a subtle reference to the Olympic shooting pavilion, and a contemporary artifact shaped by engineering logic.
The steel legs, reminiscent of exposed construction supports, reveal intentionally visible welds and joints - celebrating structural rawness rather than hiding it. The T-shaped backrest balances technical clarity with ergonomic softness, while the curved seat appears to yield under the pressure of its own geometry.
A defining feature is the stainless-steel apron that visually unites the chair’s elements. This detail - usually concealed - is deliberately brought to the forefront, reinforcing the design’s expressive honesty: a belief that structure itself can be aesthetic.
ARPON is a piece grounded in engineering, memory, and architectural identity - a chair that acknowledges the past while standing firmly in the present.
