Cadê is an "elastic textile cube, where neither base nor back is seen" from Brazil. In Portuguese cadê means where, it's also the abbreviation of cadeira which means chair. "The armchair only appears when one sits on it. The synthetic fibre takes then the print of the body. You literally enter into the material. The structure is made up of steel tube, the base and the back in elastic bands. The structure is entirely covered by two layers of elastic textile (Supplex). This armchair shatters the Bauhaus theory based on the fact that the shape of the object must quickly inform the user about its function and its mode of use.".
