Bernhardt : Sinistra chair : 1987
The Bernhardt company introduced Sinistra as part of the Opus collection of furniture designed by leading architects and designers.
Sinistra is an asymmetric response to Bernhardt's technical ability to form wood veneer laminates into complex three-dimentional forms. It is the meeting of two chairs in one object : the generic side chair and the traditional barrel chair.
