Formula.Chair by Matthias Demacker

Automotive enthusiasts and racing fans are always looking to inject a little octane into their everyday lives. For some, that could mean carrying a carbon fiber briefcase to work. For others, it could mean sitting on chairs modeled on racing seats. But if you're looking for something a little simpler, a little more low-key than the racing-bucket office chairs we reported on earlier, the Formula.Chair by Matthias Demacker could fit the bill. The award-winning German designer styled these chairs – available in a variety of configurations, colors and trims – after the molded bucket seats found in F1 racing cars. Its simplicity is its beauty, and suddenly other chairs look like they belong in the slow lane.
