The design of the chair was inspired by the atmosphere of a traditional Czech pub – a place known for beer, eating and debating. A Czech pub interior often features a lot of wood, an earthy element that invites customers to feel comfortable and relaxed. The combination of a traditional U-shaped seat with solid wood legs ensures strength and longevity. These qualities are tested through 460,000 cycles simulating sitting, and also with techniques that model what is likely to happen in a pub.
