Product story
The design of Andu Masebo’s Tubular Chair is a result of many conversations with car exhaust manufacturers. Working around the limitations of machines and thanks to Andu’s innovative design thinking, two sections of stainless steel tubes have been bent and joined to create this voluptuous curved frame. Andu wanted to utilise the focused expertise of these exhaust manufacturers, deliberately making a feature of the typically concealed tig weld.
Manufacturing story
The seat itself is made of recycled chip rubber often found in the automotive industry, which Andu cast around a metal plate and connected to the stainless steel frame in his Hoxton studio.
