The simple yet fascinating concept behind Naked is to expose the supporting structure, generally hidden in most chairs, and make that structure the absolute protagonist of the object's beauty and intelligence.
The designers have achieved this using two interlocking pieces of solid beech and six small pieces of bent steel sheet, which once mounted complete the rigidity of the construction and provide the needed seat and backrest surfaces.
The result is a refreshing, unique looking chair that is not only beautiful but also extremely efficient: simple and low-cost to produce, easy to transport as it packs in a flat volume-less box and is rather lightweight, and fast to assemble as the pieces are fastened together using standard wing nuts.
