SEATING
The
Gestalt
rocking chair is comprised of a single, looping gesture in stainless steel.
Gestalt
The Gestalt chair is an endless loop, comprised of interconnected tubes of bent steel. Whilst appearing effortless, the chair is reliant on ambitious technical craft. Dirk was compelled to make the Gestalt as a love letter to additive manufacturing: whereas 3D printing is so often used to imitate subtractive processes, the layers of the Gestalt chair celebrate 3D printing’s most enticing attributes. Namely, structure as ornament, and the activation of negative space.

The calculated contours of the Gestalt
Made entirely from bent metal, the chair plays fond homage to the “Not only hollow chair” — using light reflections to define the lines of the chair.
The calculated contours of the Gestalt are bent robotically, before being welded together by meticulous automatic welding machine.
Unlike so much of our plastic work, the Gestalt is perfectly suited to a life outdoors. Regular dusting is advised. Kooij products are protected by a limited warranty. To read the full terms, please visit kooij.com/warranty.
Does the Gestalt come in one piece?
Yes, the Gestalt chair comes as a whole.
Does the Gestalt wobble when you sit on it?
