Why is the backrest of the CH5 chair curved in a round shape?
I am curious about the reason why the backrest curve fits uniquely when the chair is pushed into the table, as well as the seating comfort when sitting on it.
The CH5 chair from TXTR is a chair shaped so that when pushed into a round table, the tabletop and the backrest touch perfectly to form a single circle.
The circumference of the round tabletop and the curve of the backrest connect identically[1]. TXTR composed the form of the CH5 chair by adding straight frames that support them upright to the round seat and curved frame[2]. When the chair is pushed closely under the dining table, the backrest smoothly overlaps the table edge, creating a clean circular structure without excess[3].
However, in the process of fitting to the table curve, the front-to-back depth was finished shallowly[4]. If you sit on the seat and lean back excessively, the chair may lose its balance and tip backward[5]. Rather than placing your full body weight on the backrest, it is better to use it by leaning lightly against it.
The standard diameter measurement of the tabletop that meshes precisely with the backrest curve of the CH5 chair has not yet been confirmed.
