David Adjaye's Washington Skin™ Nylon Chair in Esquire

Esquire, a leading men's lifestyle magazine, included the Washington Skin™ Nylon Chair in its March 2017 issue. Part of its "trending" design section, the cantilevered stacking chair appeared in bright yellow and red finish options.

Designed by British-Ghanaian architect David Adjaye for Knoll in 2013, the Washington Skin™ Nylon Chair, part of the Washington Collection, represents a meditation on structure, material, and balance. "It is an amazing luxury to be able to manipulate and sculpt – at full scale – as you go along," he told Knoll. "This is something you can’t do with buildings."

In September 2016, the much-awaited National Museum for African American History and Culture opened in Washington DC. Adjaye's design for the museum, with its gold lattice facade, crystallizes his ongoing explorations of permanence and history through modern design.
