Description
Brian Kane's Swoop Collection for Herman Miller embodies a modern interpretation of midcentury style, particularly showcased through the Swoop Plywood Lounge Chair. Kane meticulously studied the interaction between people and public seating, noting how users contort themselves into often uncomfortable and nonfunctional furniture. His aim was to create a collection that genuinely accommodated the natural human form and its spontaneous behaviors.
The Swoop Plywood Lounge Chair is a tribute to Herman Miller’s esteemed legacy, deeply influenced by the groundbreaking work of Charles and Ray Eames. Renowned for their pioneering use of molded plywood, the Eameses delivered furniture designs that have become timeless icons. Kane has adeptly modernized this motif, incorporating elegant upholstered "Swoops" that embrace the body in any chosen posture. This chair is designed to accommodate various sitting positions—whether upright, angled, or reclined—ensuring comfort and support in every scenario.
Our team has reupholstered these chairs in a warm camel-toned suiting wool, creating a sophisticated contrast against the elegant grain of ash wood and sleek chrome accents. The muted palette allows them to seamlessly integrate into a variety of spaces while their sculptural form adds a striking visual element. Brian Kane’s Swoop Plywood Lounge Chair is meant to be admired from every angle, and this refreshed aesthetic ensures its timeless appeal for years to come. -
