Otis Tube Chair by John Green

The Otis Tube Chair is a minimalist chair designed by John Green. The acronym OTIS stands for “Off The Industry Shelf” – it represents John Green’s approach to presenting proven industrial precursors in a new guise. An innovative approach which is visible in the OTIS tubular chair. The furniture piece represents Green’s vision to create a timeless classic through a serious and imaginative design approach.

The harmonious relationship between form and function is a central element of the Otis Tube Chair. Careful design has created a striking profile: the powder-coated tubular steel frame precisely follows the curves of the seat and backrest, which are made of curved oak plywood. This interplay of different materials gives the chair its characteristic lightness and at the same time robustness.

With rounded elements and gentle angles, the chair provides a comfortable sitting experience. Its stackability and the variety of finishes make it an optimal choice for diverse locations.
