The 1980s “How High the Moon” chair by Shiro Kuramata for Vitra is an iconic study in transparency and form. Constructed from finely expanded metal mesh, the chair appears almost weightless, dissolving into light and surrounding space. Kuramata’s design approach merges minimalism with conceptual artistry, transforming industrial material into a poetic, floating structure. The piece reflects his fascination with immateriality and spatial perception. Over time, the surface can develop a subtle patina, adding depth and character to its delicate, industrial aesthetic. More an art object than functional seating, it carries a label stating: “this product should be treated as a work of art, it is not intended for contact use,” reinforcing its status as a sculptural design piece rather than a utilitarian object. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
