LUFTGEKÜHLT + MODERNICA CASE STUDY CHAIRS

The Aircooled Arm Shell, a pontoon shod glass fibre armchair that pays homage to the distinctive vent hole pattern found on the chassis of a denuded 356 Speedster seat. All the components are presented in a tonally matched Elephant colour scheme and finished off with a handmade sand-casted aluminium plate on the undercarriage.

The Luftgkuhlt Shell Chair features Deus Ex Machina’s in-house scribbler Carby Tuckwell’s signature flowing lines. Modernica’s brand new 17-layer molded hardwood leg-base, designed in a unibody construction just like its 4-wheeled, rear engined counterpart.

These case study fibreglass chairs are made using the same process and the original machines developed in the 50s. They will be available exclusively at the Luftgekühlt 3 aircooled Porsche event held at Modernica’s manufacturing facility on Sunday April 10th, 2016. The limited edition chairs will become available online on Monday April 11th on shop.us.deuscustoms.com
