Kovy 03/04 is a minimal chair created by South Korea-based designer Joongho Choi. Kovy is a collection composed of materials that discolor easily in order to evolve with a distinctive character. In addition to the material, the designers chose to leave welding marks as well as an unfinished surface in order to create a more industrial aesthetic. The metal frame is designed in order to maximize stability, while the seat and seat backs are constructed of iron to increase comfort.
