Passerine Chair

Amos Goh Chair Furniture

Passerine is the definition of a bird that perches, and the unique joinery of the backrest looks as if it is perched on metal branches.

And the result was a design that bears unassuming characteristics, with a bit of that modern charm. The materials and processes are durable and have a lower impact on the environment compared to other alternatives, with no excessive chemical treatments or unnecessary use of plastic.
