This electric green Model 6040 chair by Maarten van Severen is a stunning piece of modern design that combines functionality and aesthetics. It is made of a single sheet of transparent methacrylate that bends around itself to create an incredibly innovative seat. The electric green color adds a vibrant and playful touch to the chair, making it stand out in any space. The chair is a rare and exclusive item, as it was produced by Kartell in the 1990s using a new technology specialty plexiglass that enabled its unique form. The chair is a testament to Maarten van Severen’s innovative and minimalist style, as well as his mastery of materials and technology.
