Ah, the ubiquitous stacking chair. It seems that almost everyone has dabbled a bit in this design over the years, and the wheel is still being reinvented, so to speak, as evidenced by Knoll's 1999 Cirene by Vico Magistretti, the 2000 Gigi by Marco Maran and 2004 chair by Ross Lovegrove.
A quick Google of "stacking chairs" will show just how many designers and manufacturers have come out with their versions, yet very few, if any, significant changes or improvements have been made over the last 6 1/2 decades. Enough already!
