Plier Dining chair
PLIER is the outdoor chair created by OIKO DESIGN OFFICE in its second collaboration with Diabla Outdoor. Its creators, José F. López-Aguilar and Salva Codinach, have devised a piece of furniture with clean lines, whose apparent simplicity hides a deep design work that turns a smooth surface into an enveloping one. Plier is composed of an undulating line without right angles, all through a production process without complexities, without molds. An exercise in origami reflected in metal.
The Plier chair is a small, freshly designed chair that shares virtues with traditional plastic monobloc chairs, such as its stackability, comfort and orientation for everyday use. However, the Plier outdoor chair is made of aluminum, a lightweight, fully recyclable and weather-resistant material.
Diabla tips:
Because it is so lightweight and stackable, the Plier chair is perfect for contract spaces that need to be reconfigured often, such as restaurants or hotel terraces. It is easy to transport and takes up very little space when stored, so it is also ideal when you have very limited storage space.
Plier is an exclusive Diabla Outdoor chair that fits very well indoors even though it is designed as outdoor furniture due to its aluminum construction. The sinuous lines of this designer chair break the boundaries between indoors and outdoors and can be easily integrated into the poolside terrace of your home or a modern living room.
Enjoy creating colour contrasts between your Plier chairs or harmonize them with the rest of the furniture in your garden or living room. Diabla Outdoor puts at your disposal its entire colour palette and finishes so that you can reinvent your spaces with this chair with a simple and functional style.
OiKo Design
Founded by José F. López-Aguilar and Salva Codinach, OiKo is a Barcelona based product design office focused on the transition to a circular economy and
for the common good. The studio designs starting from the research of the subject and user perception to solve new realities and to offer more
competitive products, more sustainable and more
emotionally engaging.
“As a studio, we work through materials in a very material-based design process. Sometimes we make them speak and express an aesthetic and a story in a very evident way, but also in other cases we try to silence the material and simply make it work. This is the case with Plier chair. That visually it doesn’t express but that you feel when you use it”.
