Acme and Verve

At the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Danish company Fredericia presented Acme and Verve, a new collection of stackable chairs designed by Berlin-based studio Geckeler Michels. The plastic shells of both chairs are made of 100% reusable polypropylene with a fine tight structure. 

  Acme is marked by the contrast between the circle and the square in a harmonious design, complemented by either sledge or a 4-leg frame. It was conceived for canteens, meeting rooms or any place requiring a large number of chairs and organized layouts. Its polypropylene shell comes in black, white, stone, powder nude and electric blue; the frame is available in chrome, black, white, stone powder nude and electric blue, combined with fabric or leather upholstery. 

In Verve, the nature of the chair seems to change depending on the angle from which it is viewed. It is available with a black seat cushion or in a fully upholstered version which makes it very comfortable, while the seat cushion is placed loose on the chair to make it simple to clean. The chair is versatile and suitable for private houses, offices, large canteens and meeting rooms.

It comes with numerous different frame types including metal skids, solid wood legs, and a swivel frame on wheels. Just like Acme, it comes with a polypropylene shell in black, white, quartz grey, berry, blue and ancient green, while the steel legs can be black or white, and the wooden legs oak white-pigmented, black lacquered and smoked oak stained. The seat cushion – or full upholstery – can be either fabric or leather.
