The Loope

The Loope is a circular designed chair by Victor M. Aleman made from a single piece of red oak and covered in high density foam.

The chair looks good, but I’m not sure how functional it would be as it gives the impression that you may keep sliding down it or if not you would stand up with a bad back or neck. But I hope I am wrong and that the material used counteracts and sliding as the design is visually appealing and its also interesting how its made out of one single piece of oak as opposed to several so I imagine there’s a reduction in manufacture in some way. Plus the continuous rotation of the Oak’s grain emphasises the curvature of the design and is an element that would be lost had the chair been made from multiple wooden elements.
