In order to create a chair that was both comfortable and functional, Think + Shift utilized the Fastmount Very Low Profile Range. Designed for thin panels and facings, the VL-03 is a low profile clip set that doesn’t require special tools, instead simply mounting with a screw or adhesive.
Chosen for its simple installation and maintenance, the VL-03 clip allowed for simple removability of the upholstered panels – a key requirement when designing with children in mind. While the chair design allowed gaps between the panels so dirt could fall through, the use of Fastmount allowed the panel to be removed when they require more thorough cleaning, or even a complete reupholster of a damaged panel.
The low-profile nature of the VL-03 meant that the panel could be fitted close to the chair’s frame, further enhancing the minimalist design of the chair.
