The rubber band chair combines industrial materials with an unexpectedly lightweight visual expression. A slender powder-coated metal frame supports a seat and backrest formed from tightly stretched black rubber bands, creating both comfort and flexibility while emphasizing the chair’s graphic silhouette.

the contrast between the technical frame and the elastic woven surface reflects dixon’s ongoing fascination with material experimentation and industrial production processes. The result is a chair that feels both functional and sculptural, equally suited to contemporary interiors, design collections, or architectural spaces.

the rhythmic arrangement of the rubber bands creates a striking visual texture while adapting subtly to the body. More than a practical seating object, the design stands as an example of early twenty-first-century british design where innovation, materiality, and character converge.
