Professionals see construction.

Developed for Hyatt at McCormick Place in Chicago, the ARC Chair was engineered for a demanding hospitality environment within one of North America's busiest convention destinations.

Only 16 chairs were required.

The challenge was not quantity.

The challenge was performance.

A project-specific seat height transformed a familiar chair into a project-specific solution.

At uncommon seating heights, leverage increases.
Loads increase.

Small construction decisions become critical engineering decisions.

For that reason, the ARC Chair was approached as a construction problem rather than a styling exercise.
The connection became part of the design.

Material choices became part of the solution.

What guests experience as simplicity is often the result of considerable development behind the scenes.

The objective was never to create a different chair.

The objective was to create the right chair.
