Glasvezel stoel (prototype nr. 3)

Odd one out or pioneer? While the whole world was still mesmerized by the conceptual approach of Droog and Dutch Design, Aldo Bakker was going in a new direction. According to Bakker, form is the most important aspect of a design. This will more likely result in a usable piece of art, than a functional object, and certainly not a three-dimensional statement or comment. He uses unexpected materials and techniques which can end up being time-consuming and expensive. He once tried to create this chair’s curved shapes using wood.
