Specifications:
Exord is a high-back swivel armchair designed for extraordinary comfort at home. Ergonomic in attitude and casual in appearance, it is part of the first project by American designer Jeffrey Bernett for Cassina. Its shape was engineered to lend support to the body, especially in the lumbar region and around the head. The shoulder area is lightly padded to provide additional soft support. Exord is sustainability oriented: with a view to upcycling, its components can be separated at the end of its life cycle. The rubber used in the armchair structure includes a percentage of plant-based polyols and the padding is made from recycled PET fiber recovered from Plastic Bank®. A matching footstool complements the armchair and an optional lumbar cushion is also available to ensure greater lumbar support when seated with the legs raised.
Based in Nyc, Jeffrey Bernett founded his firm in 1995, and presented his first collection “Ideas for Production” at the 1996 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York garnering the top honour, the Editor’s Award for “Best of Show”. Since then, Bernett’s work has spanned disciplines, extending from design related, problem-solving products, to larger, more complex systems. Jeffrey Bernett believes that the best solutions emerge from equal parts humanity, intellect and reativity, and he is fortunate enough to be to work with several of Europe’s best-regarded manufacturers.
