Modelled on classic wooden bistro chairs, the Basel chair utilises moulded plastic to improve comfort and durability. It was designed by Jasper Morrison who is one of today's most influential British industrial designers. He is renowned for his elegant, quietly humorous style. His iconic designs include the FLOS Glo-Ball lighting collection. Upon first glance, the Basel Chair appears to be another example in the long line of simple classic wooden chairs that have come out of Europe for many decades. Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that this model has something unusual about it: the seat and back are made from batch-dyed plastic and are much thinner than would have been possible with an all-wood chair.
