Selek is an Oregon-based product design atelier started by Hale Selek and Erdem Selek. The studio focuses on designing everyday objects ranging from toothbrushes and screwdrivers to furnishings like chairs and tables. Recently, Selek took curtains off their latest design Stuttgart Chair 2.0, which is simple, sleek, and stylish with sustainability at the fore.
What makes the design extraordinary is the philosophy behind it. For Selek Design, a product should be as pure and simple as water that does not leave any scent or taste behind. Stuttgart Chair 2.0 caters to the doctrine of Hale and Erdem Selek and exhibits a high level of playfulness and creativity while minimizing material offcuts.
The makers of the furniture made the chair out of identical sheets of steel. Cutting pieces alike and welding them to formulate the chair helped minimize offcuts and use material efficiently. As per the company, “the product is based on a mathematical rhythm that composes its formal aesthetic language.”
