Like a science-fiction version of the traditional Acapulco chair, Italian furniture brand Moroso presented the Diatom stackable aluminium chair at the 2014 Salone del Mobile. Designed by British designer Ross Lovegrove, the chair is modelled after the frustum of a diatom, a primordial single-cell organism with a silica skeleton that the designer discovered at the seaside as a child.
The production of the chair utilises die-cast aluminium sheeting technology developed by the automotive sector which reduces its weight by eliminating the need for steel and also lowers the production cost of the chair.
