Moon Armchair

Moonarmchair 
Judging by its name, the Moon Armchair was always going to be space-age design made from plastic.  What may come as a surprise is that this isn't a design from the 1960s, but a more recent creation by Hong Kong designer Mike To.

The chair is made from moulded glass-fibre with a high-gloss finish and is available in a choice of colours; orange, black, red, white or bronze.  The chairs normally cost £839 (or £889 for the bronze version), but are available at the reduced price of £439 (£469 in bronze).

Buy the chairs at Fashion 4 Home.
