Coined in 1960 by scientist, inventor, and musician Manfred Clynes, and popularized by countless science fiction novels and films, the term cyborg refers to an organism that combines natural and artificial elements. Designer Marcel Wanders interprets this synthesis as the expression of a continuous search for new combinations in a world where inventing something truly new has become an almost impossible challenge. The result is Cyborg, a chair with a shell made of polycarbonate, an extremely resistant and versatile plastic material, to which backrests in different materials can be applied: from polycarbonate to wicker, from solid wood to plywood, to the most recent upholstered versions covered in fabric or leather.
The further evolution of a chair that is at once poetic and technological, welcoming and unexpected, in harmony with the most diverse environments.
