Chaos Chair
Made by Classicon
Designed by Konstantin Grcic
Konstantin Grcic named it well. The Chaos Chair holds a productive tension between opposites: a silhouette that reads as restrained from across a room, and a high, curving backrest that asserts something closer to ceremony up close.
Grcic trained under Jasper Morrison at the Royal College of Art before founding his Munich studio KGID in 1991. His practice consistently resists decoration in favor of structural clarity, and the Chaos Chair is no exception. The narrow profile is deceptive. Settle into it, and the enveloping backrest becomes the dominant experience.
Classicon, the Munich atelier behind the piece, has long been committed to the kind of craft and material precision that allows furniture to age with dignity. The Chaos Chair is produced to those same standards, at home in a reception room, a private study, or at the head of a dining table where presence matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Chaos Chair and what is his background?
The Chaos Chair was designed by Konstantin Grcic, a Munich-based industrial designer who trained under Jasper Morrison at the Royal College of Art and founded his studio KGID in 1991. He is recognized as one of the most rigorous product designers of his generation, with work held in permanent museum collections worldwide.
What makes Classicon distinctive as a furniture manufacturer?
Classicon is a Munich-based atelier known for producing contemporary and archival designs with a strong emphasis on material precision and craft. The house works with leading designers and maintains close control over production quality, resulting in pieces built to last across decades.
What upholstery or finish options are available for the Chaos Chair?
The Chaos Chair is typically available in a range of fabric and leather upholstery options, with frame finishes that vary by configuration. Specific options can be confirmed with a design consultant, as many configurations are made to order.
Is the Chaos Chair appropriate for a dining room setting?
Yes. The chair's narrow footprint and high backrest lend it a formal quality that works well at a dining table, particularly at head positions where presence and proportion carry weight. It also reads well as a standalone accent chair in a study or reception space.
How does the Chaos Chair's silhouette behave in a room?
From a distance, the narrow profile reads as restrained and almost graphic. Closer up, the high curved backrest asserts a more enveloping, ceremonial quality. This shift in character depending on vantage point is central to the chair's design concept.
