Description
Designed in 1967, the T1 Chair was selected by Sir Terence Conran for his Habitat store and quickly became one of their most popular models. The frame is made from chrome-plated tubular steel, making it extremely strong and lightweight. Slings are hand-made in Italy from coach hide leather and available in black or brown. T1 was designed to ship flat pack in a single box ready for self assembly and could stack for easy storage.
