Designed from an architectural point of view, the slim profile of the Petit Rond Chair contains immense thought: into its comfort, its durability, and its character. True to its name—“small circle” in French—the Petit Rond Chair is composed of straightforward shapes. Outdoor, indoor, lightweight, and stackable.
Maintenance:
Daily cleaning is done with a soft cloth wrung out in clean water
Avoid using cleaners containing any type of chemicals on the furniture
After cleaning, the steel should be dried with a soft cloth to prevent streaks and scratches.
History:
The series’ spatial and human considerations come from the architect and designer Troels Grum-Schwensen—a commitment to finding points of balance between character and function, rather than making compromises for one or the other. At its origin, the first iteration of the chair was designed by Troels to be used in a café and gallery space in an old sugar factory in Stege, on the island of Møn in south-eastern Denmark, where a clear contrast between the raw, worn walls and the bright, slim all-steel-chair was an essential intention. The process with FRAMA began following a visit to Grumdesign-studio—the chair’s character and practicality an immediate commonality between the FRAMA design philosophy and Grum-Schwensen’s approach.
In Your Space:
Given its uncommonly slim profile and circular seat, Petit Rond Chairs and Stools are well suited to be placed in cafés, restaurants, workplaces, homes, and settings where flexibility is essential—in any square footage. Easy to handle and made of stainless steel, the chair is happy to be used outdoors as well as in, for the spring and summer seasons. Along with its metal fabrication, its stackable nature means that very little storage space is necessary for added seasonal seating. In settings where casual dining is a priority, Petit Rond Chairs and Stools offer the ability to adjust seating supply with ease. In office settings, this same ability can be an asset: its functional design with clean, minimal lines and small form create a respectable aesthetic with a lightweight touch.
