LEGG Plywood Chair: A Scandinavian-inspired Creation by Maarten Baptist

The LEGG Plywood Chair is a remarkable piece of furniture designed by Maarten Baptist, a renowned Dutch designer based in Eindhoven. With a distinct Scandinavian style, this chair aims to provide a cozy and homely feeling, reminiscent of those tranquil Sunday mornings spent lounging on your carpet, sipping espresso, enjoying a croissant, and delving into your favorite newspaper or book while gazing into your garden.

Drawing inspiration from the comfort of sitting on the floor with one's back against a sofa, Maarten Baptist set out to design a low-seated chair that could recreate this feeling. Thus, the LEGG chair was born. Its defining feature is its remarkably low seat, measuring approximately 25 cm in the front, with the lowest point positioned just 20 cm from the floor.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the LEGG chair is its ingenious use of a single leg for both the front and back supports. By simply rotating the leg, the backrest is affixed to the plywood seat, resulting in a sleek and harmonious design. Additionally, these versatile legs can also double as a coffee table, adding functionality to this already versatile piece of furniture.

For this particular version of the LEGG chair, Maarten Baptist opted for plywood with a top layer of ash wood. This natural Scandinavian finish transforms the chair into a captivating centerpiece for any living room. Moreover, some of Maarten's customers have even considered incorporating this unique chair into their baby rooms, further exemplifying its versatility and appeal.

It's important to note that the LEGG chair is numbered, and here you are bidding on number 001, meticulously handcrafted as the first production model – a testament to its exclusivity.

Prepare to elevate your living space with the LEGG Plywood Chair, an embodiment of comfort, style, and craftsmanship that will undoubtedly add a touch of sophistication to your home. Stay tuned for the launch of this remarkable chair and be ready to experience a new level of relaxation and elegance.

I think this chair can be best placed on a carpet or non-sliding floor. If you want to place it on a wood or concrete floor, you have to add protection to the legs to prevent damage to the chair or the floor.
