Aviator Chair: A Marvel of Innovation and Design.
Furniture is often a reflection of our lifestyles and our values. We seek comfort, functionality, and style in the pieces we surround ourselves with. The Bianchi Aviator Chair delivers all of these elements, and more, in a stunning design that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the sustainable space-saving arena.
The creator of the Aviator Chair, Zev Bianchi, is no stranger to innovation and design. As the creator of the patented Side Folding "Bcompact Hybrid" Stair & Ladder systems, he has a proven track record of bringing his visions to life. With the Aviator Chair, he has once again raised the bar, creating a piece that combines beauty, comfort, and sustainability in a way that is truly unparalleled.
At first glance, the Aviator Chair might be mistaken for a work of art, hanging gracefully on a wall. But with a simple sweeping movement, the piece transforms into a luxurious armchair, inviting you to sit and relax. The chair is made from a single piece of sustainably sourced bamboo ply, precisely cut so that the continuous fibres are never fully severed, maintaining the continuity of the singular, uninterrupted organic foundation. The Bamboo material is then layered with raw brass accents urning for the time to patinae; covered in atelier leather and handcrafted into a beautiful and functional design.
The Aviator Chair's remarkable thinness, just 30mm when flat-folded, is a testament to its innovative engineering. The result of many years of R&D, the chair is designed to provide comfort without sacrificing sustainability or aesthetics. The creator, Zev Bianchi, is a visionary who has built a reputation for designing beautiful, sustainable products and furniture that makes the most of limited space. His philosophy is evident in every aspect of the Aviator Chair, from the materials used to its design processes and transportability.
Sustainability is at the heart of the Aviator Chair's design, and every consideration has been taken to ensure that it is an environmentally responsible product. In its raw, unupholstered form, the chair is a mere 15mm thick, making it incredibly space-efficient for shipping in volume. This allows it to be easily transported for custom upholstery anywhere in the world, to suit individual client, market and environmental requirements.
The Bianchi Aviator Chair is more than just a piece of furniture. It is a work of art, a statement of sustainability, a reflection of the designer's unwavering commitment to building a better world. With its combination of innovative engineering, beautiful design, and uncompromising sustainability practices, the Aviator Chair is a masterpiece that sets a new standard for sustainable, compact and space-saving products.
In the words of Zev Bianchi, "Just because you choose to live tiny or simply fulfill the need to maximize the space you're in; doesn't mean you have to compromise on style or quality."
The Bianchi Aviator Chair proves that it is possible to have it all and to make a difference in the process.
