Go Chair
Introduced in 1999, the Go Chair was revolutionary for being the first-ever chair crafted using magnesium. Magnesium weighs 40% less than aluminum and has a higher strength-to-weight ratio which allowed for unimagined sculpting. The back legs and front legs seem reversed and from the side, the rear of the chair appears to be bending over backwards.

Introduced in 1999, the Go Chair was revolutionary for being the first-ever chair crafted using magnesium. Magnesium weighs 40% less than aluminum and has a higher strength-to-weight ratio which allowed for unimagined sculpting. The back legs and front legs seem reversed and from the side, the rear of the chair appears to be bending over backwards. It features a contoured seat and curvy shape for comfort and is manufactured by Bernhardt Design. Its edgy, futuristic style evokes movement. Go’s fusion of technology and ultra-modern material yields a universal chair. The organic design is suitable for indoors and out and can be stacked in units of three.
