The bee's kneesWith its timeless yet contemporary character, the D-chair can be placed in an endless variety of interiors. Whether it’s used to blend into its surroundings or to create a desired contrast, this elegant chair is the bee’s knees in terms of furniture. It’s not entirely coincidental that founder of creative agency ...,staat Leegstra was inspired by the slender limbs of insects when designing this chair in 2017. The Lensvelt D-Chair is known for its strikingly slim frame and surprising handle behind the backrest, which can also serve as a coat hanger. The chair comes in a wooden and upholstered version and is both comfortable and affordable.
