Furniture

Edge of the Seat

- Luke T. Baker

Keiji Takeuchi’s first line for Geiger interprets the classic side chair for a contemporary office environment, where lifestyle-inspired furniture and interiors have increasingly replaced the formality of fixed workstations and rows of desks. Without the arm posts found on many traditional side chairs, Takeuchi’s Leeway Chair occupies a narrower footprint and frees the sitter to rotate, spread out, and move more naturally. “It has a bit of personality and functionality beyond what people expect,” says Takeuchi.
